And even if I wasn't then I became one simply by virtue of being a human and leading a human life. This is the case not only for me, but for every other human on the face of the planet.
Why is it then that we have to ask for forgiveness for something that not only is absolutely no fault of our own but also is a quality or trait that was pre-destined for us before we were born?
The concept of original sin while is "Christian" is not biblical. It is never stated specifically anywhere in the Bible. It is a Pythagorean concept adopted by the Christians. The Jews used a goat to pay for their sins. The community would transfer their sins to a goat, then they would kill the goat. Hence the origin of the 'scape goat.
