"No baby is innocent" with their silly beliefs, as if.
Where's the logic? Baby = New = didn't do anything wrong = sinner because of "original sin" some 2000 year old crap probably used to justify murdering babies in those times.
In my logical world, Babies are innocent, pure, and ANY loving god would judge them on what THEY do and not what some other people did how ever many years ago... I'm sorry your god hasn't got a big enough brain to understand that we are different people and so we don't act on behalf of innocent people.
"Original sin" what a load of crap.

You do not understand either Original Sin (as a doctrine), or the Mercy of God (as applied to Innocents).
Your "logical world" is the same as Christian doctrine...SURPRISE!!!!
The problem I think you are running into involves the Fallen nature of Humanity. Even a newborn baby belongs to a Fallen race; that is just part of their genetic makeup. THAT is what Original Sin is all about. Adam and Eve mutated us almost beyond help, when they made their choice thousands of years ago. That sucks, I know. That is why God intervened and came as Jesus: to provide a way out of our genetic mis-alignment towards damnation.
Don't worry about the babies, though. God knows their helplessness and innocence, however, and makes an exception for them. There is still grace for those who haven't made the decision to sin. Look up the "age of accountability" in your studies; that may help.

No, you're missing the point. Sin=imperfect. We are ALL born imperfect. Adam and Eve ruined it for every generation that followed because they disobeyed God.
I'm pretty sure God does NOT hold an innocent baby accountable for willful and deliberate sin.
Even Jesus wasn't baptized until around the age of 30 years old, which tells me that God wants us to become completely grown and mature enough to understand our dedication to serving Him (God).

Please try to big the bigger person and don't offend other peoples religion as they could probably give a **** less what you think. The reason I believe they consider it "original sin" is because they are born from a mother who is already in sin, so they baptize them to give them a chance to start fresh. thus they do start innocent.

Babies are innocent. As they grow, they too, must face temptations as everyone else. God doesn't create sinners.

Its not that they did anythign wrong, its that humanity fell from God's grace. So its like being poor, if you are born into a por family you too are poor even though you have no reason to be.

The sin of Adam is passed down to each and everyone of us, we are all condemned to die the first death. I did not say his guilt, just his disposition to sin.

I don't think they are. When I read the Bible I see so much that is really awful. I think Jesus was good, not blood thirsty and scary.
