>>>The whole concept of being 'conceived in original sin' never made any sense to me. The idea of tarring a newborn baby with the 'sins' of the parents is so nuts that it's hard even to be angry at the creators of such foolishness. They are more to be pitied for their depressed outlook on life, I think.
