98 Billion? Where does that figure come from?
You pretend like those people didn't commit other sins, I was just pointing out that the concept of original sin is completely just; I assure you that everyone who is sent to hell committed other sins as well as their original sin. By the way, it was Adam's sin that caused the fall, not Eve's.
It is roughly estimated that over 105 billion people have lived and died since man first started walking this planet.
If you do the math of geographical location, parental upbringing, jesus' late entrance into human history, and the sheer fact that most people didn't even know who the fuck JC even was--- the number comes to somewhere roughly between 96 and 98 billion that were sent to hell ... more than half of which never even had a chance because they had no idea your fictional godboy even existed. But you'll find some ludicrous way around that won't you.
Or just make up some unprovable claim like you just made above:
"... the concept of original sin is completely just;"
Oh!? it is just?! O well, thanks for clearing that up for me. I say there is no possible way it could be just, but since YOU said it is completely just - than certainly it must be. Despite all the massive amounts of evidence to the contrary.
O that's right. I forgot ... "JUST" as defined by Statler's special dictionary and god's special rules.
O and by the way, several of your brothers-in-christ (Bob Jones comes to mind) claim to have died and gone to heaven and even paid witness to the 98% fact I was telling you about. Your own people admit that only the uber-elite are going to heaven. Basically your god committed genocide when he created the human race when he actively, wantonly condemned nearly everyone to eternal damnation.
Your religion is utter stupidity and you, the self-proclaimed sheep, kissing the ass of a self-absorbed dictator who could never come close to loving you as much as he loves himself!
