Just a way to beat you down emotionally so that they can build you up in their image (and pick your pocket, and monopolize your time on Sunday morning and Wednesday evening).
What really gets me about this sin-poisoned-blood silliness -- aside from the sheer absurdity of it from a genetic and hematologic POV, that is -- is the failure of the offended god to take any meaningful proactive steps to fix it. One would think that a god capable of creating a whole fucking universe would be able to spot a snippet of damaged DNA and fix it, without waiting for those pesky mortals to invent CRISPR technology.
By the way, Dan, would you kindly identify the damaged segment? My brother's a geneticist. He probably has the knowledge and the tools to repair Original Sin (if it actually exists, that is).

*waves* Got at least one fossil in my bowl of pretty rocks in the living room, and I've been interested in astronomy since I was a kid.
