Does all Christians blame Adam and Eve for their imperfections?

Not one of us would have made a choice different than the one Adam and Eve made. That is why we are all sinners, because we are all the same.

Adam and Eve were perfect. If Eve had not sinned and enticed her husband Adam to do the same, they would still be alive today. They were created perfect and that is why their punishment was death. We inherited imperfection because they were no longer perfect once they disobeyed God and lost their privileged relationship with Him. All they could pass on to their progeny was imperfection. It was for this reason that Jesus had to come to the earth and take on the form of a perfect man to prove that humans could remain faithful (perfect) regardless of what trials were they were put through. It was his refusal to give in that gives us the hope of everlasting life just as Adam and Eve had the prospect of eternal life when they were created.

I don't. I was taught about personal accountability in my Christian walk. I am personally accountable for me when I stand before God. Nothing anyone else did or will do changes that. I can't blame Eve or Adam. They had there own problem and I have mine.
They were just the first sinners on earth. I do blame her for PMS though- of course if she hadn't sinned someone else down the line would have. Its human nature. HA HA

What Christian was that? I'm Christian, and female, and I don't blame Adam and Eve for anything. Thats goofy. But I hope your having a cool day anyway.

No. Adam and Eve merely introduced the concept of sin into human affairs. Each individual is guilty of their sin-curse from birth, but has the power to revoke that curse through repentance, water baptism, sanctification, and being indwelt by the Holy Ghost. Besides, there's an adage that says it really well, "If we could kick the person most responsible for our problems, WE wouldn't be able to sit down for a week!"

The Christian concept of 'original sin' is supposed to be trace back to the Adam and Eve thing with the fruit.

Love this question! Actually, I think Christians blame Eve mostly for the whole apple incident. They think, '...she was the baddie that made poor Adam eat the apple. Because of Eve, they lost everything.' Give me a break. Because of Eve we awoke as people, we gained wisdom from that apple. I praise Eve for the gift she gave us. Christians condemn her for getting everyone kicked out of Paradise, but they don't cherish what she gained for us.

yeah well, some folks never get over being toilet trained so they resent and blame mommy for everything.
the Adam and Eve story has ever been the justification for the subjugation of women given by a patriarchal social system.

She was wrong.
I do not blame Adam and Eve. My imperfection is a result of my deliberate choice to disobey God.

Not only that, but God blames all human beings for Adam and Eve eating fruit against his orders, which is why we all die, have disease, etc. Neat, huh? Makes perfect sense...if you're a retard.
