Crisis of faith

My point is that seeing as God knew that things would inevitably turn out this way anyway, He bears some responsibility for the outcome by choosing to follow that path. Preceding it all with Eden and the Fall just seems like a convenient way to guilt-trip humans to take all the blame rather than both God and humans taking a fair share of responsibility for the outcome, seeing as both God and humans played a role in it. And God has the added benefit of being able to forsee the consequences perfectly, humans don't. God also put is in the position of having physical urges and survival necessities that drive us toward sin, which seems like a somewhat unfair handicap. If the situation were absolutely neutral and there were no biological urges or survival necessities that drive us towards sin then it would make mote sense to condemn people for sinning. They would have literally chosen that despite there being no reason to. But to give humans strong physical urges and survival necessities and then condemn us for acting on those just seems like some kind of sick joke. It comes across as the behaviour of a gaslighting sadist, frankly.
