    Very simplistic explanation of original sin & a fallen world. Not sure how I feel about the interpretation...https://twitter.com/spulliam/status/817150015772782594 …

        But I agree journalists should be more familiar with basic theology--as well as conservative culture.

        And I agree that good people who start off w/ fundamentally different worldviews will inexorably come to different public policy conclusions

        Leaving aside the false idea we're "born bad," if GOPers consistently thought so, they'd want greater Gov't controls on people.

        I can imagine it. Something like "we trust people to raise their families & spend their money better than gov't."

        Yes! Republicans believe in hard work, personal responsibility & freedom. They believe people are capable & good. @mattklewis @spulliam

        Since there is no such thing as "sin', what's your problem with "original sin"? Feeling guilty?

        @spulliam also a simplistic correlation/causation I'm not comfortable with attached directly to religious worldview & politics

        @spulliam it's not how St. Augustine would have explained original sin.

        My high school history teacher, at a Catholic school in MI, provided essentially the same formulation 20 years ago.
