Why do atheists think Original Sin isn't real?

No matter how good they were they were still going to Hell because Eve got conned. It's called "job security" for the fat priests. Other than this there is nothing to it.

Define sin. Then tell me why I should care as an atheist. *recloaking*

How can a new born baby have committed a sin, it hasn't had chance to do anything yet. No; Quote:Original sin may be taken to mean: (1) the sin that Adam committed; (2) a consequence of this first sin, the hereditary stain with which we are born on account of our origin or descent from .The concept that you are guilty of something your (mythological) ancestor did at birth is utterly abhorrent. By this reckoning every German is guilty of Nazi war crimes (and will be in perpetuity). Every African is guilty of cannibalism. Every Scandinavian is guilty of the Vikings massacres. Every American is guilty of slaughtering the Sioux. This way lies insanity... The presumption of guilt, let alone guilt by association, is wrong. Show me how it could be otherwise.

There's no such thing as sin for starters. Sin is a religious concept.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.

well . . .
upon reflection, I have to admit while I am slurping up some freshly spewn spooj, the sin angle, whether real or not, does enhance the experience Wow, I want to REALLY offend God tonite Do I win if I can make Jesus vomit ? ![[Image: 1i3kca.jpg]](https://i.imgflip.com/1i3kca.jpg)
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
