| The entire "savior" cult myth never seems to die, which in the Judeo-Christian tradtion always entails a original sin motive. |
Not Judeo-Christian. Christian. Judaism has never adhered to the doctrine of original sin, though Christians employed the story of Eden to justify it. |

| I am not certain how Jewish theology deals with the concept of original sin today, but its birthplace in Christian theology does come from the Old Testament. |

| To me it matters little if Jesus was actually the son of God, or just thought himself to be so, and acted accordingly. Which to me, if all the stories are true, is near enough. He existed because he was needed at the time. |
Well said. |
