Many religious people in religions like Catholicism believe in Original Sin.
Original Sin is what Adam and Eve did when they ate from the one tree that was off-limits and got the human race banished forever from paradise because of it.
They also believe that everyone is born with original sin, and you can only get rid of it by being baptised.
My question is this:
How could we possibly be guilty of original sin? We're not Adam and Eve. Nobody ate that fruit except for them.
And why do people get baptised, anyway?
I mean, they said it's to cleanse people of their original sin.
But why?
That sin isn't theirs, for one thing.
And for another, the consequences still stay.
The consequences for original sin were that humanity could never go back into the garden of Eden and that they would be self-conscious.
People don't magigally become not self-conscious anymore or be transported into Eden.
So everything stays the same.
So why do people do it.
Religion is so full of crap sometimes.
