I think children should not be indoctrinated into religion. They should get to decide when they're older if they what to believe in that stuff.

No. That's even stated in the Old Testament that no-longer will the children be held accountable for the parents sin.

We aren't being punished for the sins of Adam and Eve, however, we are living with the consequences of the sin. For example: My great-grandfather was a drunk and a gambler in the final few years of his life. Prior to that, he worked hard and owned many, many, MANY acres of prime land in the Yellowstone Valley. He gambled a large part of this land away in one hand of poker. We no longer own the land - we live with the consequences. Adam and Eve sinned against God and were kicked out of Eden, and therefore we live in a sinful world. I don't believe we are born sinful, we are just born into a sinful world.

Karma connects you in another life to almost all the people you know in your present life, especially to your family. You were your mother's mother, her husband, her wife, etc., So with all the karma and "sin" (the karma that ties your psyche in a knot and won't go away), being paid by parent's children is definitely there.
Also by paying taxes, an illegal practice by our gov't, and living in a country that is committing sins, like the US is doing, the entire country and it's tax-paying citizens will pay in bad karma the sins of that country.

No I do not believe a child has to pay for the sins their parents did. We are each responsible for our own sins. Each individual should be held responsible for what they did, no one else.

Nobody should be responsible for the sins of anyone else.
Edit: Being responsible for the sins of another and getting caught in the fallout of those sins, is not the same thing.

Children often have to, for example if their is a divorce in the family the children pay for it also with the separation or who gets custody! I don't believe that they have to pay but it is the way our system is set up.

No. I believe that we are all individuals.
I've asked this question with regards to the concept of 'original sin', and never got a straight answer. The nearest I got was "It was like Adam and Eve cursed us with the disease of sin" or something like that.
I despise collective punishment. Hence I despise the concept of original sin.

yes in a sense they do. because the sins of the parents they are taught that that particular sin is ok. the only way to put and end to the punishment of sin is for the parent to to change thier habbit or for the kid too.

Yes and it's not fair. Our parents' generation ran up a huge national debt and we will spend the rest of our lives paying it off. Our parents' generation put all that carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and we will suffer for it decades from now.
