That is how the world works isn't it.

But in all seriousness, we ditched scripture, iconography, and clergy because forms are restrictive. Every being has a connection to god, we perceive it when we experience pain from knowledge. It's what differentiates us from organisms. We WERE and remain organisms, but something else besides which they are not. In that way, we are both flawed and deviant from god's design (relative to other organisms), but simultaneously more alike to and connected to god.

While it might be blithe to shrug off original sin as a happy little accident, that's kinda what it was.
