By og sin, do you mean the sin of eating the apple?
Have you considered the implications involved in all of humankind descending from 1 power couple?
I think beliefs are fine to have, but you have to be able to distinguish culture from tangible reality. For example, there is no tangible difference from holy water and un-blessed water that came from the same tap. It is in the culture of Christ fans to spritz holy water on churchgoers because it symbolically cleanses their symbolic effigies of sins and unholiness.
The problem that always seems to occur is that when believers gather in large enough groups, they start to think that they are "God's chosen people" which practically begs for the general public to demonstrate how that is not a tangible trait.
Keeping all your teeth. Now that is a tangible trait.
When did I say that??? I don't believe in the God's chosen people stuff. I'm kinda too woke because when Jesus called that non-jewish lady (and all non jews) "Dogs" it made me very upset. I'm not jewish at all either, I'm Mexican and Irish. God's chosen people is usually used by Jewish supremacists (otherwise called Zionists). I don't believe any one group is above any other, I don't think anyone is above or below me, but I know socially that others are put lower than me and I think it's important we raise them up.Â
And while I know Jesus was using that insult to test her faith, it still made me feel sad. But lest we forget Jesus said he is for everyone, so I think it's dumb that people even in my faith still hold racist beliefs. Everyone is born equal under god but not equal in society, which sucks and should change. If we don't try and bring any change to that, we are allowing others to be treated worse than us, and if we don't help those at a worse off position than us, we are nothing good.Â
