The only evidence there is for this is "We were told it as kids. Just like Santa Claus." Is it a talking snake actual occurrence that makes babies evil today, or is that a story? That's a tough question, because if someone says "yes, it's a talking snake true story that makes human beings evil," then they have sacrificed their mind to faith, gullibility, and authoritarianism. There's is only one possible reason to believe such things: "They told me and I'm afraid not to believe it."
I think Ecclesiastes is a great book. And while I'm deciphering fables, from philosophy, from theology, from wives tales, from the primitive superstitious mind ... while reading the ancient Bible, there is much to be gleaned. There is nothing to be gleaned from suspending one's critical thinking to believe things.
I'll address your blatant lie first: I wasn't "indoctrinated" into Christianity. My parents were non-religious, and I generally identified myself as agnostic or atheist until I became a Christian at the age of 30. Before becoming a Christian, I earned a degree in Philosophy and had taught at a community college for five years.
In my opinion, your posts read like someone who gets all their information about Christianity from atheist bloggers.
All I know about the mind of God is what He reveals in the Bible.
Have you actually taken the time to study literature by Christian scholars like Dr. William Lane Craig or Ravi Zacharias or Lee Strobel?
Your posts read like that of a bright, articulate, yet uninformed 17 year old, in my opinion.
