[extropy-chat] Original Sin was Bioethics Essay

[Samantha Atkins]

Knowledge never was a sin in Christianity to the best of my  
experience and knowledge of it.   Let's stop speaking as if it were  
unless someone has something a lot more authoritative than a  
hackneyed interpretation of the Eden myth.  The work of reaching some  
Christians is difficult enough without making things up that make it  
harder.
