No, Mexicans, South Amer. still have it. It's like a disease passed on to all humans. And the only cure is Jesus.

Original sin is a metaphor for the human condition....so NO they are not exempt and YES we all have it

well they never accept jesus as their savior because they dont know who he "is". so i would assume they're going to "hell"

Christians are divided on that. Some say yes they would. They're guilty of sin and deserve punishment (hell). Others will say they will be judged on what they know.

Scripture says it isnt up to man to decide who does and does not go to hell. Man should never speak on these things because its considered judgement. Hell is punishment and judges pass sentences. Its obvious where your mind is at which is probably the root of the issues you have with the concept of sin. There is too much responsibility in being good for most people.

Implying that they have a better template for good then someone who doesnt believe in God. Atheism is the religion of self and the only way atheists can communicate the need for something is by thinking how it can benefit them personally. So if you say *hey atheists dont have sex before marriage* you cant say *because god says so* You have to say *because your financial future will be in jeopardy* so they understand.

"Better" template? According to who's standard? God's? "Because God says so"? So anything God says you should do is automatically good?

*edit* And yes, actually! "Because your financial future will be in jeopardy" is one valid answer. What's so wrong with that? This is actually how we determine what's right, and wrong. It's a cost/benefit analysis, really.
