I didn't say no work was to be done. It only takes a few hours a day to grow food to support yourself, and make clothing and what not ... Think of Native American cultures. Do you think they spent their entire lives hunting and gathering? The problem comes when people think they own the land, and so have the power to make others pay just to live on it. Do you pay for your air, or do they own that too? Overpopulation causes this, and overpopulation is a result of the sanctification of our manifest destiny to dominate the world into one perfect human-controlled sphere. (said with a great deal of sarcasm) We seem to want to put into the mistake-inclined humans what was once up to God and nature to do, and they both seemed to do right well for millions of years.

By Brethren, I was talking of the animal species closest to us that we put in cages and take their chances at survival because they are not human.

By saying that Sin is sin, I mean that the meaning of sin is to take away life, and what but guilt and shame and sin do that most in human life? The church directed inward the aggression that was used to good effect into a self-defeating and self-torturing conscience that was in fact just taking away quality of life over things that you probably couldn't have helped anyways. Original sin is the sin that Adam committed when took of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. That tree is the result of us thinking we know good from evil, when in truth, we don't. If we acknowledge that we don't know what is good for others, and only by trial and error what is good for us, then we can transmit wisdom and yet not destroy ourselves.

Original sin is a myth ... Its in the book of Genesis.
