You misunderstand Christianity.
Jesus Christ is our help. So we are not helpless.
Living faith requires action, so we are not passive.
We merely believe the Bible is accurate about what we have witnessed about ourselves: that after experiencing one moral failure after another, we lacked the ability to commune with the Holy God who made us, knows all things, and will be the Ultimate Judge.
Jesus died to pay for our moral failures and rose again to give us a new life in the Spirit. We use that new life to live for God and others.
The computer virus analogy is a little inaccurate. Our problem is we got a corrupted operating system from our first boot-up. We need God to wipe the hard drive and give us the OS our hardware was designed for. Only then can we function to our best ability as the Maker intended.
Catholic church h hasn't been exactly good about giving tjeor people the Word Of God. Just a bunch of useless ritual. Read the Bible as believing comes from hearing the word of truth. The Word of God itself when acted upon is believing. All else is mental assent and not productive.
We can't free ourselves. We need help from the Boss, the Lord Jesus Christ!

Christ was sacrificed so we could be reconnected via the gift of holy spirit to God. Not for moral issues. We were dead spiritually until born again.
All issues spring forth from people being disconnected from God.
I appreciate your thread, but you completely misunderstand Christianity. No need to be a turd
