A second thought....how about original sin? Lets look at this religious intuition carefully. In a geometric universe, everyone just is, good or bad or good and bad; we all just exist- and like the universe.. are. Is that "original" enough? Original sin is, at the bottom line, just another intuitive statement about the facts of existence, NOT a condemnation of humanity...at least compassionate people don't take it that way.

I'm reminded of the verse from the Christian scriptures: John 3:17 "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved". There are incompetent, greedy, and deeply disturbed people everywhere, in every profession, religious and non-religious.
