Absurdity??

The logic in this next steatement is flawless. Please prove me wrong.:

The name of this monstrous absurdity is Original Sin.
A sin without volition is a slap at morality and an insolent contradiction of terms: that which is outside the possibility of choice is outside the providence of morality. If man is evil by birth, he has no wil, no power to change it, if he has no will he can be neither good nor evil; a robot is amoral. To hold as man's sin, a fact not open to his choice is a mockery of morality. To hold man's nature as his sin is a mockery of nature. To punish him for a crime he commited before he was born is a mockery of justice. To hold him guilty in a matter where no innocence exists is a mockery of reason. To destroy morality, nature, jutice and reason by means of a single concept is a feat of evil hardly to be matched. Yet that is the root of your code.

No lyrics, poems or quotes, just ponder the above statement.
