[Do any of you have any real-life stories about the more conservative views of "original sin" and how it impacted your daily life?]

Hello Everyone:

Although I've been a member for almost 2 years - I rarely post. I am posting today because I've got a question for all of the liberal Christians here.

Do any of you have any real-life stories about the more conservative views of "original sin" and how it impacted your daily life?

I've never really lived the more conservative branches of Christianity. I've had a lot of exposure, but I grew up in a liberal home and was never really exposed as a child (or young adult) to the perils of literalism.

And yet, I see all around me people who are imprisoned by literalistic theology. The doctrine of "original sin", and it's impact on real life, is probably the most baffling for me to understand. I've seen this impact real people in very unhealthy ways and I'm trying to understand it. So... I guess that's why I'm asking the question...

Do any of you have any real-life stories about the more conservative views of "original sin" and how it impacted your daily life?
