Because they are probably guilty of something else and just didn't get caught. Sneaky kids.

The Old Testament says this. The Christ said the Creator doesn't punish us for the sins of the fathers. Nevertheless, it is still a spiritual truth. Because man WILL!

That's a general misconception.The sins of the father remains with him alone and he alone gets ****** down in hell.The children just bear the scars not the pain so that he or she will not repeat it.The Lord doesn't punish a newborn babe in unchecked wrath.He is neither a fool nor insane.

Actually that refers to those that are continuing to commit the SAME sin as their fathers did. They choose to commit the same sins as their fathers, even when they knew better. Have you ever heard the phrase, "I was rasied that way." And, "I do _____ because that's what my dad did to me."

They should count themselves fortunate. He could have condemned all generations forever like he did to all of the progeny of Adam & Eve...... but I guess those would be the same people since supposedly they are direct decendents of them, so, nevermind.

It is sort of like a curse on the family. Look at the Jewish nation for a moment: since they told Pontius Pilate to put the blood of Jesus on them and their children they have been cursed ever since, ie Holocaust, Napolean, constant wars

You should really stop reading the Bible 24/7 just to find good criticisms to throw at Christians. Do someting productive with your life. Either way, I thought Athiests don't believe in the Bible and think's it's all fake, sounds like you believe it more then some pastors I've met.
