 To be 'born in sin' means that one is against God. One would remain in
 this position unless they were converted.

 So let me see if I have this straight.  God makes us.  Immediately, we are
 in
 sin.  So God makes us with sin.  No matter what we do.  Before Satan tempts
 us.  We are in sin.  So sin comes from God.  You know, I think that is what
 all theism is leading to.  An evil God.  Evil on earth, heaven a myth. 
 It's
 more of a game than anything else.  Play his game and receive heaven, don't
 and burn.  What a character.  To me it sounds like this character will go
 ahead and burn the believers too.  Just for the fun of it.  If he really
 gets
 all this glee out of burning the atheists...
 
 MATT
 You don't have it straight.
 
 Thanks

 Well, thank you for the in depth explanation.  That really cleared up a lot.
 I'm serious.  How can you assume a god as fickle as yours is really going to
keep his promise of salvation to you when we know full well, he sends people
to eternal torment.  (Granted that you believe in him, etc.)  I'm serious.
 I'd like an answer to the above letter.
