    There are references to other humans outside the garden of Eden, implying that humans descended from them are immune to original sin.

      Original sin is passed on by birth so I’m pretty sure if they bred into the line of adam and eve then their offspring become infected with original sin. So those that are immune are only those who are entirely seperate from the line of adam and eve. It’s basically just an incurable STD.

        I’d rather have unpleasant itching than possibility of eternal torture.

        I read an amazing story about some pagan dude who invited the missionaries at his door in and calmly explained to them that he was descended from those people exclusively so none of their rules applies to him and what they considered sins were fine. They didn’t know what to say and just left. Sadly, it seems to have disappeared from the internet.
