You're right that does not make sense. Good thing Christians don't believe that.

You're right Christinas don't believe that. Good thing we have you here to speak on behalf of all Christinas ever

I'm a Christian during this post, and I believe it. You can't generalise us. We can believe whatever we want.

I'm not surprised at Losty's comment, but do you really think Christianity teaches that we are punished for Adam's sin? If so, you really need to learn more about what you are criticizing.

Are you serious?

Yeah, that's exactly what it teaches. Original sin.

Thanks Smile

Well, if Steve rejects this particular story and doesn't teach it to people, then I'm all for that.

But you can't seriously be telling me it hasn't been a very popular one among Christians for a long time.

Really quick Googling on original sin makes it clear that the effect of original sin is considered different depending on the sect you're talking to (big fucking surprise). Protestants believe we are sinners at birth. Catholics believe we have an inclination to sin that's hereditary. There are other variants.

One more example of them not being able to keep their stories straight.
