#1 - original sin: supposedly all this stuff is going on because adam/eve "ate the fruit" (type of fruit still under question).

because of this, god let billions & billions of people, "his children", suffer imperfection, pestilence, plague, wars,death, etc.

& let his "true followers" throughout bible history be persecuted because of this "original sin".

hi everyone!

well, im a newbie here, so ill make this short!
