I believe the insight book states sin originated in heaven with Satan. Not Adam and eve.
Which actually brings up a lot of other issues
just one little thought....adam & eve ate the fruit from the tree "of the knowledge of good & evil".
so..in other words, before they ate they did not know right from wrong...hmmmm so how can you blame someone who does not know right from wrong?.
for a crime to take place in human law you must have the act - 'actus reus' - and the guilty mind or 'mens rea' as it is termed.

i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.
i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.
i do not condone any crime.

those who are trying to force their opposing beliefs on me are the trolls.
No one is forcing anything on you, it's discussion board, that means asking questions and talking about things. Not all of them will align with your ideas. Criticism is not persecution.

I have tried other religions. Buddhism, baptist, deism, atheism, etc
Atheism is not a religion, there is no doctrine, no set of rules, no beliefs, it is simply the absence of religion, and not a claim of no god but the disbelief in one.
Since you were "trying out religions" I would take atheism out of there, because you don't really try it out then convert to something else. You were searching for religion in a void, I don't think it counts.

LovesJehovah with all do respect you picked an odd place to talk about loving jehovah.
If you walked into a bar mitzvah and tried to strike up a conversation about how swell Hitler was, you might not get the warmest welcome. Granted there are theists and what not here, but not a lot of fans of the big J

I love jehovah... and batman, and han solo, and you get the point,
lovesdesertgod you sound like a really interesting person, I recommend emancipating yourself from ideas that are currently suppressing your true self and life. If you spend the time you will learn the bible is crock, Jehovah does not exist and Jehovah's witnesses are in fact a cult.
There is so much to love in this life it should not be squandered and wasted on things that just don't exist.
