I thought we gained that hereditary trait* when Eve ate fruit from the forbidden tree. Being made "in the likeness of God" has nothing to do with it.
* Hereditary, in that people didn't have this trait, then Eve ate some fruit, then she gained this trait, and we've all had it sense. God damn that story is so stupid.

I do repeat the same stuff because that's the evidence - and I don't do it mindlessly. If you want to see mindlessness, read the shout box on an average day or the posts in the R'lyeh forum or read your own posts. Now there's some mindless stuff.
