Genesis 3 is the passage used to identify what certain denominations define as original sin, but the bible never points to the fall as the point of original sin. It is the point where Adam and Eve first sinned. we are not judged on their sin, but on our own. Each one of us according to the bible, when we become aware of sin and do it anyway is then guilty of sin. Not what someone else did at the dawn of humanity.
Genesis 3 is all about it. Humanity is cursed because Adam and Eve ate the fruit.
I wish you'd stop playing fast and loose with this, Drich. Stop pretending that you don't know WHY we sin, according to your book. Why are we born this way? Who's directly responsible for giving humans such a capacity?
The problem here isn't necessarily you; it's the subject matter. There's no way to explain Man's sinful nature without being evasive and sounding like a babbling maniac OR admitting that the god you worship is in no way benevolent.
Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place, huh? One of the unavoidable pitfalls of trying to explain utter nonsense.
