Doubting Thomas
#14
RE: Doubting Thomas
I can pin down the moment exactly. I was about 19 and a fellow a few years older than me gave me a lift home from work in his car. He was an always happy, go-lucky type bloke and I admired him a lot. He seemed to have a good handle on life and things. At the time I was going to church a lot and reading the bible. We started talking about religion and I was spouting things verbatim. I was telling him that we are all born sinners . He just smiled and said "So a new-born baby is evil?"
That sentence pierced me like an arrow. Immediately a phrase from the bible jumped to mind about original sin and the "deal" Jesus did to free us all blah blah blah but I am sure that was the first serious crack of light entering
It's not immoral to eat meat, abort a fetus or love someone of the same sex...I think that about covers it
