If God said it, I believe it. He let me know the condition of my soul. My actions verified it. The newspaper verifies the condition of the world in which we live.

But the concept of "original sin" is a truly vile one.
If your great grandfather smurdered someone, should you be held accountable?
We all have sinned. Break one of the laws and you are a lawbreaker. We are all in the same boat, grandpa included.
