Yep, you've got to be creative!
Curiously, "original sin" does NOT appear in the KJV bible, although may 'believers' accept it as perfectly valid.

If original sin means that all minkind are born sinners because of the sin of adam and eve, then I believe that's quite unfair. God is not unfair. However, according to the Christian belief in original sin, God would seem to be that unfair. If the law of Karma which believed in ad always acknowledged in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and many other eastern religions( as well as might I add, most if not all ancient religions), then that would explain the only way that mankind can be born as sinners. I.E Carrying sins form a previous life into a present one to be worked out. Karma I think can be the only explanation for the Christian belief in "original sin". Unfortunately, Christians who shun the idea of reincarnation and karma cannnot understand this. However, Karma explains why different pple are born into different situations in the world. It can explain why one child is born in a war-zone or into poverty and why another is born into a wealthy family with all the comforts they require.
I hope this helps or gives a little insight.

"original sin" is a Christian doctrine that you will not find in the Bible. It's supposed to point out that everyone is born into sin, meaning that everyone is capable of doing wrong because of Adam. This is wrong when you find in the Bible that God does not condemn the son for the sins of the father (though elsewhere you will find he does exactly that... condemning several generations for the wrongdoing of one person). But basically original sin is the idea that Adam and Eve brought sin into the world and now everyone is screwed. But you won't find that term in the Bible.

The original sin, called so because it was the first act of disobedience of a child of God on earth, was Adam and Eve disobeying God by partaking of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.

Alyssa and Grace are the only ones who got it right.
Didn't Satan lie to them Before she ate the fruit?
That was the original sin. The angels rebelling.
Satan was the father of the lie the original sin.
Was not the apple but a lie.

Original Sin refers to the biblical story of Adam and Eve disobeying God in the Garden Of Eden. God gave them the whole Garden to enjoy, except for the fruit from the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The devil, posing as a serpent talked Eve into having a bite of the forbidden fruit, and she talked Adam into trying it, too.
As a punishment, we have to work for a living, childbirth is painful, and snakes crawl on their bellies rather than on legs.
hope this helps.

Man's fall from grace in the garden of Eden is original sin. We spiritually inherit Adam's sin when we are conceived.

Original sin is what Adam did in the Garden of Eden.

Original sin was created by the priests of ancient times to get their flocks to believe the religious rubbish and give the priests money.
If there wasn't any money and power in it there wouldn't be any religion.

Wasn't Satan saying that "you won't really die at all"
Calling God a liar? Wasn;t the original sin when Satan rebelled and wanted to be worshipped.
That happened before Eve ever touched a tree.
