Original Sin

[GeorgeParker]

I read a book once that asked a lot of questions as a way to help you understand you inner feelings and your personality.

One of those questions was, "At what age did you stop walking from your bedroom to the bathtub naked?"

That question is a pretty good gauge of when you lost your natural innocence.

Or if it seems more appropriate for you, you could ask, "If you sometimes spent the night at a friend's house and both of you always walked from bedroom to bathtub naked, at what age did you stop doing it? Do you remember why?"

BTW those are rhetorical questions intended for self-examination purposes only!

ETA: And just so no one will misunderstand, I was referencing what catherine said about sin being separation from our natural state:

"Original sin" is our innate separation from God/The Source/Pure Love. And I would add that IMHO it's also our separation from our natural, more primitive selves--the selves we were before we got evicted from the Garden of Eden.
