Well there are many, many interpretations to that story of the forbidden fruit. The most strange and nonsensical interpretation IMHO is the original sin idea, which is not originally Christian.

A better interpretation is that God made us with a free will, able to choose between good and evil. Free will makes only sense of course when everyone can choose for himself. Not Adams sin, but our own sins condemn us.
