If you mean that God created man with free will and that creates a rebellious nature so God can't hold someone accountable for their free will actions, then it is still a false premise. It is false because it attempts to remove personal responsibility from the actor.
So then you still believe in selling your daughters to your neighbor,not eating shellfish and pork, stoning people to death for adultry, slavery,and and all the other stuff in the old testiment that is obviously out of date and unethical?
If God is so ethical and perfect why did he condone this behavior of humans 2,000 years ago and why isn't he punishing us now for not continuing to follow them.
You cherry pick what you want to follow from the bible. The homosexuality being an abomination is no longer valid because the human race has been more than abundant on this earth.
Besides the bible is a myth.
and you concept of education is off because most education has fact behind it that can be scientifically proven. The stuff in the bible cannot be proven. this is why you must take a leap of faith.
and teaching little children about Jesus before they can think for themselves is brain washing. They are being manipulated at a young age while their minds are fragile and when those ideas are set in their heads when they grow up the tend to always follow it.
I am sorry the bible is full of making you feel quilty or bad for simply being born human. It is a book to control people.
I for one choose to be a free thinker and I will expose my children to all religions of the world as well as the concept of humanism, atheism and agnostics. I wont be putting them into a church where other people will be telling them myths without me there to explain them to my kids.
If when they are 16-18 and they choose christianity of their own free adult will. I will be more than happy to accept them as long as they understand that I will not put up with spouting hate against homosexuals in my home.
Also I will explain to them the difference between an extremist and christian supremist as yourself and moderates.
