This is why Jesus was really crucified. He worked on Sunday, wore linens of mixed cloth, and ate pork. ALL ON THE SAME DAY.
Which is why he utters "WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?" what he really said was "Who came up with these stupid rules in the first place?!"

Oh, so Original Sin do make sense. It's just not accepted by atheists because they don't believe in God.

Ezekiel renounced the idea of original sin. Now each person is only responsible for his own sins.

I thought it was a continued sin from the ancestry of Adam and Eve. The ultimate grudge.
Either way, I don't care what pleases or displeases some weird celestial voyeur. So it's just irrelevant. The thing that surprises me is people who worship such an obvious little bitch of a god, who is so petty and egotistical. In their mind, they are worshipping something real.

What do you mean by original sin, pool?
If you mean that humans are born sinners, that's debatable.
If by sin you mean doing things that the christian god would not approve of, sure I'm a sinner. What's your point?
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

There is no sin. Crimes , yes. We decide what is a crime. Priests and preachers decide what is sin.

Everyone is born a sinner? How can a new born baby have committed a sin, it hasn't had chance to do anything yet.
Blaming a new born for the "sins" of his/her ancestors is the kind of thing a cruel and stupid god would do, if that's the case I want nothing to do with this nasty cruel god thing.
