I didn't choose to be born into sin. Why should we suffer?
We weren't the ones sinning in the garden

We weren't, but "We descended from the ones that did sin the garden".
So there's that.

You don't have to suffer, you have a way out, if you want it.

Give Genesis a very close reading. It does not say anything about some eternal curse or what have you. The story is there to speak to specific legends of how things began. It is included, I believe, because it talks about the attributes of God. Reading Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 together gives a highly contradictory appearing picture, which if you allow the two to mix, gives a beautiful and deep appreciation of the awesomeness of God.
Keep your eyes open: you will see again and again the juxtaposition of two opposites in scripture, and they often appear not possible to bring together, but that's the only way to fully appreciate the extent of God's breadth and height.

Not all Christians believe that, for example:
"We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression."

I think we certainly did want sin. God would never force on us what we hated.
The CARNAL MAN is SOLD under sin. There are many sins, all stemming from SIN.
How many ppl, Christian or not are moderate in all things? Don't exceed limits? Don't overnights? Are disciplined? Well planned? Spend the right amount of time cleaning, organizing, spending? How many take good care of their things? How many work to keep relationships good?
I think we go naturally into sin. Part of us, right in there.
Suffering MAY lead us away from sin, May develop character.
Or for some, they may just be miserable.
Jesus is my answer.

I hate sin but Adam made mankind to be in sin but we can get out by this way.
Romans 8:1-8
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

Because we are the offspring of Adam and Eve and we come from them. Just as importantly though salvation is available to us through Jesus' sacrifice, this includes the promise of living in a future sinless state. That's pretty incredible.

The entire Christian idea can be compared to rape. God can do whatever he wants to all of us according to Christians without our consent. Seriously if God is real I would have to ask it/him/her why I wasn't asked if I even wanted to play it/his/her sick game in the first place. I would rather not have existed at all than to be forced into the f**ked up scenario Christians believe to be reality. The whole thing is really dumb. I don't mind existing, but I would mind if the Christian scenario were true. Thank God its not lol.
