I guess you are right :(
My least favorite part of abrahamic religions is the concept of Eden. The idea that we were once perfect, and then we fucked it up. It's a myth that's so perverted and destructive and plainly opposite of the truth.
We're not angels falling from heaven.
We're monkeys building society out of nothing but mud.
It's pretty astounding, actually. Certainly things aren't perfect and never will be. But look for the helpers. The people who work to make the world better. Never believe anyone who tells you that everything is getting worse.
Like the kid in the story, who literally got made fun of by the teacher, was like “I think he need to write an apology to the whole school, but he shouldn’t get fired.” He’s a good person. And the dad said he thought the teacher should go through racial sensitivity training but not lose his job. Idk if I agree with them, but at least they are thinking with compassion and not rage.
The Eden thing is necessary for the concept of original sin. People are bad and should feel bad, and only the church can save you. Donations, please!
