That's an interesting perspective.
Now that I think of it, I think most of my childhood questions towards my elders centered around a basic theme of "but why did this person do something so bad?"
Why did Adam and Eve disobey, why did Noah get drunk like that, why did Joseph gloat, why did his brothers sell him into slavery, why did even Moses get a big head and falsely declare himself the source of miracles, even after all he'd been through?
Those are the kinds of things I'd ask, and the answer would usually be something like "well, because people are flawed."
The only one I never had questions like that about was Jesus.
