The entire notion of sin is patently ridiculous.
A 'perfect' being creates imperfect beings with an innate proclivity for certain behavior, a lot of it arbitrarily labeled as being 'bad', and then punishes these lesser beings for not successfully overcoming their programming because the 'perfect' being's love should be more... something (powerful? attractive?).
It's just moronic all around. A children's tale that far too many people haven't matured past.
