Merriam-Webster disagrees. So does allboutgod.com.
And, I have to agree with Aurora. Original sin is among the most repugnant and morally bankrupt ideas religion has foisted upon humanity.
Both say the same basic thing - an act that is immoral. Only difference is God/religion is in the picture.
As for original sin, is the acknowledgement that we're all bound to do something wrong at some point in our life really that bad? You just said you agreed with it. You just don't agree with calling it original sin.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
