the dramatic consequences of this myth
Because of this myth, monotheisms burden their followers with a totally paralyzing sense of inherited GUILT (original sin).
According to all monotheisms, MAN IS BORN WITH GUILT.
We are born guilty, and we have to live only by the book (interpretations of the book), never stray from cradle to grave to be able to maybe wipe that guilt from ourselves personally, but without being able to do anything about the guilt of our children or loved ones. everyone works only to wipe his own guilt off his "soul".
All human existence should be concerned only by wiping this guilt off, that's the reason we were born; we are given a second chance to wipe the guilt off by living, and obeying a book, and doing what it says...
Guilt is moral debt.
When you have debt, your primary concern will be paying it back, not to lose everything, and to be free to move on to other things. Imagine a debt that you have to pay all your life, even maybe you were given that life as a chance or an occasion to pay that debt, and for what?
Because Adam & Eve, in conformity of how GOD had made them, had no choice but to fall for the serpent and eat from the tree of kn owledge of good from evil.
Maybe by doing what the book says, we will forget our knowledge of good and bad, and return to paradise and to original innocence... maybe.
But before re-becoming innocent and returning to paradise we should make damn sure that the serpent has not found his way back to paradise, because if he has, the whole cycle will start all over again, only this time there will be no telling what punishments and curses we will be subjected to...
Maybe it's wiser to be happy with what we have and not gamble...
So can you imagine a more debilitating factor than debt?
All your life?
Can somebody imagine the degree of attempted moral slavery of humanity? Mankind should do nothing else, be nothing else; just pay his debt...
And we try to explain this unexplainable myth to our children, abusing our status as their caretakers to make them accept the unacceptable: that they are responsible for something that even their great-great-... grandparents are not responsible for, and they have to pay the price all their lives by being obliged to do exactly as a book says, fearing not to be good enough, or else they will suffer eternal damnation and be burned alive in hell forever...
We do this to our children... to save them...
Only the first victims of monotheism, the people of the supposed original covenant supposedly dodge this debilitating effect by supposedly being "His people", and supposedly being subject to some exceptional treatment by the terms of the supposed "alliance" or "covenant".
But what about the other monotheisms?
The other monotheisms that have accepted this model of creation without protection, have kept their followers in an eternal repeating cycle of sin/debt/redemption, with no way out to try to actualize freely their huge potential as human beings. They stay debilitated, diminished.
So humanity should feel guilt, pay all their lives, transmit this debt to their unborn children and fear the burning hell for some story that being based on a logical error, contradicts itself.
All monotheistic religions have this myth as the foundation stone for their edifices...
