As for rejecting original sin, you could have become an Eastern Orthodox chr*stian. They don't believe in it either. And it's called hayetzer hara`, the evil inclination, and it was created by G-d and placed in Adam by Him.
<If you don’t believe the Torah is from Heaven (literally), then you didn’t convert to Judaism.
This is why I don’t participate on the Judaism threads. I converted. I took the lessons, I renounced Christianity, I have the certificate. I keep a Jewish home (books and artwork, I don’t keep kosher - but then as a vegan, I don’t need to) and the Jewish holy days. Personally, to heck w/all the holier-than-thou Jews on the board who only consider orthodox Jews as ‘real’ Jews. Why don’t you bother the Methodists and Lutherans and ask why they aren’t Catholics? Or Amish, for that matter?
