It's terrible Lek that Christianity has managed to convince you that you are doomed just for being a human.
Don Baker puts it best, "Religion breaks your leg then sells you a crutch."
Christianity works really hard to get people to despise themselves, to find them unworthy, dirty and in need of punishment because of some vague interaction between God and their ancestors.
The concept of "sin" is entirely a religious construct. It is not real. It's like an imaginary debt has been given to you when you are born, "You owe God 500,000 sin points." There is no debt, no one deserves to be punished just for being born. And any "God" which thinks so is not worthy of worship anyway. It has all the hallmarks of a scam, because that's what it is.
Whoever indoctrinated you into this religion is the one which put this "sin" idea into your head. I hope one day you can just cast it out. Because it's not real.
