Also, you don't get original sin. I'm not going to try to set you straight (because you probably won't bother to read it, and you'll be back here tomorrow saying incorrect things again). However, you should know that you've got it very wrong wrt original sin and non-Christian infants.[/quote]
I just did a bit of Googling on "original sin" and what I found is that there is not much agreement on it.  I'm not the poster you were addressing, but my take is that, like many other terms we throw around as though we all understand them, original sin means many different things.  So, for one of my fellow atheists to be tainting all Christians, let alone all believers, with belief in original sin is a gross oversimplification.  But then, so is PP's implication that s/he knows exactly what original sin means.[/quote]

Your fellow atheist might not have been "tainting" all believers, simply assuming all Christians believed in this basic element of the faith  -- and basic as the virgin birth and the resurrection.[/quote]
