Doubting Thomas

[Chad32]

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

Unfortunately some people will still say that babies are born evil, and the reason they cry so often is because of how selfish they are. This is why you see some christians baptizing infants and children otherwise unaware of why they're being dipped in water.
