Original Sin is, in my opinion, the most difficult inconsistency to explain
in the Christian world view. The concept of sin and forgiveness are
irrelevant without the concept of self-responsibility. The concept of
self-responsibility is rendered non-existent by the idea of Original
Sin. We are guilty, and held responsible, for actions we did not
commit. Further more, the one holding us responsible is God - a deity
described as being just.
I find this puzzle much more difficult to solve then the notion that God
cannot be omniscient, omnipotent, or omni-caring at the same time.
All my papers in college (religion major) never once mentioned the idea of
Original Sin.
