What reason would we really have to accept Christianity without original sin? Orthodox Christianity's central tenant is that God came to die to free us from the curse of original sin.
This puts forth original sin as a kind of ailment or sickness that Christianity claims to hold the cure for.
What if you don't believe in the illness though? Is original sin somehow demonstrable within reality?
What other reason would there be to believe? If you're not demonstrably ill why accept a cure for it? Its snake oil isn't it?
We are just how God intended us to be, no more, no less. We are one of many animals. There are gonna by sheer chance alone be thousands if not millions of planets with intelligent life dominating the other creatures in terms of altering their environments.
Humans are on the planet earth, just one of many planets that are huge hives of life. to Satan, it is another animal lifeform made in his image, that reached a new level of becoming via overcoming the struggles via ingenuity and evolutionary progression.
As well in our personal lives, we grow to become stronger and better in the same way. There is no sin, only our nature that God/Satan made us with, from which we first embrace, then we refine and self-actualize to become a greater form of ourselves.
Original sin from the Christian ideal, is nothing but saying that their nature is bad, when in fact it is neutral as is Satan. Without sin, there is no need for Jesus, and we can be good and loving from our hearts. Love from the heart instead of threats of hellfire is more genuine love by any honest measure.
If Christians need to guilt everyone into being fundamentally flawed, "sinful", then no wonder we suffer from so many mental ailments in society. I'll take Satan over that any-day, that loves me for what I am, as I realize that to see Satan, is to know that I am not flawed, but ultimately a neutral being that can feel both love and hate, and create and destroy, and that there is nothing wrong with that; that is how Satan intended me.
