Aren't we all dealing with a bunch of issues related to our self-interest, deception, lying and just plain difficulty in getting along with others ? I find the Christian position on this very realistic.

Do you mean the position wherein as a result of being tricked by a talking snake a rib-woman ate an apple which lead to the condemnation of all subsequent humans (all part of her extended family), and the only remedy open to the all powerful being who was in charge of everything was to send himself who is actually not him but is really to be tortured on earth by humans who didn't know who he really was (and/or wasn't) so that other humans who were not yet born (as well as those who were already dead) could avoid punishment for the fruit based transgression and be made whole by knowing the lord simply by believing that all this did really happen?
I do not find this to be all that realistic.
