- Original Sin? -
Did the doctrine of original sin originate because God’s chosen people were not helped out by god?
Is the self hatred of original sin due to years of subjugation of the Jews at the hands of Egypt and other nations? Israel has always been a beleaguered nation, perhaps this is where the original idea that humanity is a fallen race comes from.
Granted, the Book of Job is an answer to this, but still.
