Date: 2008-11-26 08:30 pm (UTC)On the other hand, I have to say that not all religions (and not even all Christian religions) believe in original sin. I think.... I think the Calvinists moved it over to "we're born neutral and become evil or good depending on what we do" territory? Maybe it was the Lutherans. I'm also honestly not sure which line of Christians believe we are born good and only turn evil when we are corrupted by the world. I wish I remembered; I'm sure there's someone out there who does!
Anyway, I belabor the point that not all religions strive to teach people they are worthless. Though there are plenty that do, yes indeed. Plenty. That blog entry is horrifying. What a sad little girl. Child raising is complex enough and no one needs to add that kind of crap into the mix.
