Thank you Martin. It's no good use just wildly throwing words back at me Andy. By round and round I mean that I keep re stating my reasons for saying that sin is not innate. Again - I say that pain and imperfect conditions cause the organism to modify its behaviour to avoid more pain right from day one. One can see that in the animal kingdom every day: slap a wasp and it stings you to stop you hurting them - it's not a sin, just a reaction.
Even modern day bullies are deemed to be psychologically transferring their own pain on to others by means of projection and transference. They feel so bad about themselves that they have to make someone else hurt to get rid of their own feelings. They can't express them very well so they get someone else to do that for them. One can see it happening in marriages. The man is angry about an issue at work but does not express it very well at work because of fear of the boss so brings it home and is angry with the wife. So the woman cries because she is hurt by him. And is regarded as soppy and blamed for being tearful. But what is happening is that the woman's tears express the man's anger for him. Another woman doesn't cry - so the man's feelings don't get expression and he has to deal with it and face it himself. Basic psychology theory. Module 2 Year 2.
It's not enough to call sin innate without looking at what sin is. What is it?
