Original Sin and The Precepts

"I see mainstream Christianity has a confusing mishmash of "mysteries" that are difficult to explain. While theologians have written endless volumes, I don't think the average Christian understands or believes most of this. In fact, I would wager that most Christians hold heretical beliefs that the church over the years has fought wars over." I wrote this on July 30, 3021 wherein I mention Original Sin among other concepts. As I listened to Geoff Dawson, Dharma Successor of Charlotte Joko Beck and the teacher of the Ordinary Mind Zen School, Sydney in his October 11, 2022 podcast, Moral Philosophy and Zen, I find myself comparing the Christian worldview with his introduction to the precepts. Original Sin doesn't help me figure out how to live, it just presents a problem and then awkwardly comes up with a solution. So much of this seems distant from the parable speaking healer named Jesus. He wasn't much of a theologian himself though he sparked an industry.
