Re: original sin

In my Bible it says that Jesus walked the Earth as a human being, was crucified, and was taken from the dead to living on Earth again briefly before He returned to our Father for the express purpose of redeeming mankind from ALL sins. This would include the, so called, original sin.
Some denominational religions cling to the concept of original sin to exert power over their parishoners and forward their own agenda of the secular denomination being the ruling power instead of the Holy Word.

I am referring to what one might call the "weak" version of the doctrine, which refers to the impossibility of any of us attaining moral perfection, due to a certain endemic weakness that makes us, at times, behave in ways that we would not had we acted with cooler heads. Since that is a commonplace of human life, I do not see your problem with it...
