Adam incurred a blood debt he couldn't pay,
God's laws are perfect and when Adam cursed himself by heeding his wife who had heeded Heylel (Satan) and all of us it made mankind liable to all those laws and the penalty for breaking those laws is death.
God's laws are perfect, and they call for someone to be dead for biting into an apple (or whatever that represents)? This thinking is extremism.
God placed Adam and Eve's sin on all of mankind? Now there's a loving god for ya.
When Tina was a teen she disobeyed her father. Now, as an adult, she is driving to her own home from the hospital with her new baby. Upon arriving home she finds that her father has spray painted her whole house black. Not just her house, but her baby's crib, too!
Question: Is the father showing love by what he's done, or is he just insane?
Of course he's insane, but if god paints your soul black, and the soul of your baby, it shows He's a loving, perfect god with perfect laws?
That's wholly irrational thinking.

I'm not expecting you to understand. This wasn't over any apple, it was a test of faith and trust and they failed. He wanted them to trust in him and have faith in his Word, to listen to his Voice.

Not even near the same trying to equate a man to God. God is not like us and he says this clearly:

What you're failing to understand is God has laws set for all mankind and it is those laws you do not know about that will hang you in the end, therefore it is your responsibility to cling to the way out He has provided in Christ. He loved us all enough to give us a way to save us from ourselves. It doesn't matter what religion you have, it doesn't matter if you have no religion at all. It doesn't matter if you believe or disbelieve, you are bound by the laws regardless, denying him and them only works to your own destruction, this is why you cannot save yourself, you wouldn't even know where to start or what to do. You may not believe in him, but he believes in you.

You can't rationalize God, he will not fit into any box your mind tries to put him in.
