Re: on original sin

Salaam,  in my experience saying Catholics are not
Christians is similar to other forms of prejudice.  I
grew up supposedly Christian, and recall that said as
a "joke" (not a nice one) of sorts.  it boils down to
the if you aren't like me you must not be xyz--cause
i'm xyz and i'm *not* like you.  Somehow I grew up NOT
believing in the Trinity--not believing in Jesus as
Salvation (he was guidance) and not believing that
Jesus was God--though he was accepted as the "son of
God"  and yet all of us were God's children too.  I
think it might be hard to categorize Christians other
than 1) they say they are Christians. in my view
Christian beliefs are all across the board.  which is
neither here nor there in the original original sin
discussion.
with peace, Vana
