Here is Cardinal Grorge Pell, No. 4 in the Vatican, currently back home facing pedo charges, admitting that Adam and Eve were a myth, so as Dawkins rightly asks, in that case, where did original sin come from?

I have kind of specific view on that story. While I do not believe that it happened as described in the Bible and it should be understood rather metaphorically than like a visual depiction, I am sure there are certain truths between the lines.
In my view the most religious teachings are misguided where the actual sin lies, and if we are being punished (which I doubt), it is not that much because Adam sinned, but much more because we are continuing repeating the sin, for we have not properly identified what it was and where it lies (hint: it is not the talk with the snake, neither the consumption of the forbidden fruit), thus we doom ourselves to constantly doing it again and again. It is very difficult to identify your mistake when it is not pointed to you and almost impossible when it is pointed wrongly.
