    "Original Sin Doctrine" (Need a Perspective)

    Does this concept have much of a bearing on one's practical application of spiritual values, be he/she a follower of Christs teachings, or that of Judaism? I'm trying to see the relevancy on a day-to-day level? How would it be different with or without the doctrine? ... Neemai :)
