re Children are born selfish and thinking of nothing but themselves, and have to be taught otherwise. My observations of small children together also tells me that children can be very cruel to each other, are very prone to lying, and will pretty much do whatever they are allowed to get away with by their parents. No, children are not without guilt and sin - they are born with it, and it is good behavior that has to be learned, not sin.

Its my view that much of the sin you see in children is learned from adults. I remember back to grade school, the bully types picked on the smarter types, the smarter types did not start the bullying. ie like saddam the bully type, hes full of sin (im saying that hypothetically as im agnostic)
