Original sin – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: “- Sent using Google Toolbar”
I’m no longer a practicing Christian but I was wondering who had invented the concept of Original sin .The idea of it seems very odd to me now.Though I can believe some societies are tainted with sin e g South Africa under apartheid,Britain and the Slave trade,the whole concept of Empire.no doubt this has puzzled theologians mightily.Certainly we have a tendency towards feelings of envy,hatred and malice but we’d see these now as a character disorder. but these things hurt us as well as the recipient of our malice.
What word can we use instead of sin?Is there one?
