How UU are you?

There are many religious beliefs in this world. Where do yours fall on the scale of tolerance and open-mindedness? Do you think that only your faith has gotten it right, or do you have the "your guess is as good as mine" attitude?

5. What is your take on "Original Sin", the concept that because of Adam and Eve's sin in the Garden of Eden, all humans are inherently sinful. From the moment of birth, we are impure and marred, and we must worship God and pray for his mercy.
That is holy and right
That is depressing, closed-minded, black-and-white, and emotionally harmful

It is a sin--it is wrong, and an abomination
Whatever you do in private is your business, but don't make a fuss about it in public

Why does it say "he" and not "she"?

My ideas are correct, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion
My faith is the only correct one; everyone else is damned to Hell
Everyone's idea are equally right and valuable--all that matters is whether they give meaning and comfort to that person

Anyone who doesn't believe in God is incorrect
Who knows? Maybe there is a God, maybe there are several gods, maybe there are no gods. Your guess is as good as mine.
