The whole idea of original sin is just plain stupid. So God placed a tree in the middle of the Garden of Eden, knowing full well that Adam & Eve would eat from it, and then punishes us all because they did. So supposedly the only way to remove this evil curse from our souls is to get some water sprinkled on us and say that we accept Jesus. This is pretty stupid because if God wanted to, he could just simply remove the curse he himself put on us, but instead he has this whole complicated scheme where you have to symbolically commit cannibalism by eating bits of Jesus every week. And if you don't, then he casts you into a lake of fire for eternity.
The unfair part is that if the first two humans disobeyed God, then why am I on the hook for it? If the story were true, then that event happened thousands of years before I was ever born, so I shouldn't be saddled with the curse of original sin which I have to get rid of in order to avoid being cast into the lake of fire. And what's also unfair is that people born in places where Christianity has never been practiced or born into a family which doesn't practice Christianity are also doomed to hell because of that original sin which they never got rid of.
But basically, I reject the whole idea of original sin because I reject the Genesis stories of creation as nothing but ancient superstitions written by primitive, superstitious men.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
