Some have the temerity to say the same thing about Soviet style communism; "if only done properly next time".
The idea of original sin is perhaps the most psychologically damaging and cruelly manipulative idea ever foisted on our species. Other means of control require coercion, but this bit of fantasy actually gets people to accept unprovable premises in order to have them voluntarily relinquish behavioral decision making.
Fuck religion.
