Other than The Divine Comedy and Paradise Lost what is some other great Christian inspired literature? Confessions? Moby Dick?

Mostly non-fiction, like Confessions. You ever seen the breadpill picture? Try reading some of the recommendations there.

Faust, obviously..

Christianity is the central theme in Clarel, the epic poem by Melville.

Christianity is a big theme in The Brothers Karamazov.

The Lord of the Rings is arguably Christian. Tolkien says there was not allegory for anything intended, but it looks blatant to me.

If we're talking not quite as literary, The Chronicles of Narnia and The Book of the New Sun.

He makes sense of the original sin?
Because I just don't understand how God can know and actually see someone take advantage of a woman born from a rib who has no knowledge of what 'bad' is and to then make her all everyone else suffer for it even though you wanted rib lady to fuck Adams brains out anyway so you'd have more followers

Tolkien structured his reality in the same way reality looked from a Christian perspective. Maiar aren't allegories for angels, "maia" is just the word for angel in the constructed language. It's maybe a meaningless distinction to most but he really hated allegory.

I would say Dostoyevski's (fuck is that how you spell it in English?) writings are characterized by his christianity. In some of his works it might not be so prevalent but especially in the Brothers Karamazov.
