Why the myth of original sin is Harmful

Why the myth of original sin is Harmful Genesis "myth of the" fall "of man, that is the story of Adam and Eve who committed the" original sin "of eating the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and wrong" is not so harmless as many might think. I believe that humanity has paid a high price and follows the curses of Moses that God has placed in the mouth, because of alleged disobedience of Adam and Eve. For proof that people become what they believe in their heart. If people - in our case of billions of believers in the Bible centuries - I think this story is true, then I believe that humanity is "GOLD" and cursed by their Creator in the very beginning, and that really damnation! I fear can not imagine the enormous negative impact on humanity due to this illusion ... I personally reject the myth of "original sin" as pure fiction, having difficulty finding any building, even exaggerated allegory. Please think about it: In this story, the "snake", ie, the symbol of Satan, ie, "fallen" Archangel Lucifer tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, for his deceptive. After his alleged disobedience, Adam and Eve became aware of "good" and "evil" and is "cursed" by God and expelled from Paradise! According to Scripture, in order to correct this situation, to "pay" (who?) For our sins, God had to sacrifice later, his "only begotten Son," that is Christ, who is supposed to equal and inseparable part of God - a form of suicide! Suppose now that Adam and Eve had not disobeyed God by eating the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. What are the state of humanity? That man be like without being able to recognize good and evil? The answer is simple: pure idiots. It 'was this, peradventure, God's plan for human beings? The Creator wants to be a man without a conscience? And if that were the case, Satan is strong and intelligent to frustrate the Almighty for his plan for mankind from the beginning? All this to me is not only absurd, but also a blasphemy against God and against the absolute belittlement of our Creator! The ability to distinguish between good and evil, in my opinion, the alpha and omega of consciousness, and I can not imagine that the purpose of our Creator is for man not aware! Now, as I do not want to be accused of a misinterpretation of Scripture, let me quote the verses of Genesis. What about the snake to Eve? "God knows that when you eat of it you will open your eyes and be like God, knowing good and evil. "Gen 3:5 And what God says to Adam and Eve after the disobedience? "And the Lord God said: 'Behold, the man has become like one of us to know good and evil ... "Gen 3:22 Then God confirmed what had to be the snake was in fact a lie the truth! There is no room for misunderstanding what Moses said here. Nor can we be convinced that "knowingly" means "engage" in the above verses, because if we take this interpretation of the verb "know" and therefore to the conclusion that God also for the sins "knowingly", ie, "good and evil"! But remember: NO shame, no progress, it is NOT necessary for reimbursement (in the blood of Jesus) from the curse! In other words, without "original sin" and "curse", the foundation of Christianity crumbles! No wonder that Christians hold to this myth ... Now, without preconceived ideas, trying to define or redefine what is "sin" or "error" or bad "or" error "or another name you can opt for this. My definition of "sin" is as follows: The intentional or not, conscious or unconscious, the violation of the unwritten laws that gove the creation of our life and our relationship with other human beings and Mother Nature. I want to say that there are some "specific" or "laws" that gove our nature. If the passage of these "special", knowingly or unknowingly, intentionally or not, this causes disharmony and there will be no negative consequences for the "crime" and others, in the here and now. These negative consequences are what theologians should see God as punishment for our disobedience! In my opinion, to make sense when talking about "sin" or error, we must first get rid of the old idea of "disobedience" of a God separate from us, and we must also eliminate the idea "punishment." First, however, if humanity is to survive the car, we must know our specifications. "Furthermore, we must eliminate the idea of a God out there that requires us to comply with an order or ... We must also eliminate the fear of punishment, to grow into adulthood and continue our work: leaing the unwritten laws that gove our nature, namely our "specific" and "refine" them. However, if people insist on having a religion, I believe that this should be the religion of the future: to teach people about our "special", in relation to human beings and nature. For example, because anger is a "sin"? Why not be good for your health, because when one is angry, the gall bladder in an abnormal reaction and thus produce the harmful chemical substances, etc., etc. (doctors who should enter). Some say that a person can commit an act that is objectively wrong or illegal, but this may not be a "sin." They believe that is the subjective aspect of the law may be a sin. In other words, the knowledge and intentions that are classified as a sin or not. While there is truth in this, not processed, as it is not pleasant in the former conventional "morality" and the concept of "sin" and "punishment" - by God or man courts - but on a concept of cause and effect. So why even accidentally killed a "sin", Justice argues that even if someone is innocent? As a child might find it difficult to erase from his fantasy and forget the accidental death who committed one could not even be able to forgive himself for cutting short the life of another person, causing immense pain to the families of the victim, etc. And although the child may not consciously be able to assess the action, which we know little of what could go into the subconscious mind of the child, and what is their future? And what little is known about the suffering of a soul that was separated from his body in a violent ... If anyone was not aware of the danger and jumped from the second floor of a building, which had committed a "sin" against himself. There will be negative consequences. Ignorance of the sovereign law of gravity does not lessen the damage. But even the inanimate objects of the law of cause and effect is true: if the specification of a machine is run on petrol and diesel owner puts accidentally, then the engine being damaged. So the law of cause and effect is unstoppable. The violation of "specific" is always negative. And, of course, we must stop trying to define the consequences - the effect of our actions - in terms of punishment, whether by God or by human courts. And some 'food for thought: if we assume that all of creation is inseparable from God, namely that the universe is most probably a manifestation of the evolution of "God", and then, when a small part of the whole the suffering, the whole body suffers. The only difference is the degree of suffering ...
