The jump is from a 56 year old to a 8 year old. How do we get there?
It's Bush's fault; at least it's the same "logic."
BM, not sure of your age, but no matter...if I formed a cult and told you:
Hey, BM...that spirit within you was perfect when it inhabited your body, a body not effected in any way by inherited sin from your parents, 'cause you were absolutely a perfect, innocent human being for 8 years...
but then something "magical" happens on your 8th birthday...and you became vulnerable to sin...
...but don't worry...
...'cause you're still a god-in-embryo...
...bound to become a god
So, do you think someone with my theological persuasion might need to be more persuaded that "sin is rampant in our camp"? -- or less?
