"The doctrine of original sin creates a radical democracy of sinners.
If you believe in original sin, nobody's better than anybody else. You cannot look down your nose at a criminal or a drug dealer and say 'Ah, there's a sinner, not me,' because the doctrine of original sin says that the same seeds of that kind of behavior are in your heart and maybe they didn't sprout because you weren't in the very same environment as that person out there but the fact of the matter is we're all sinners, we all need grace."
-From a Tim Keller sermon titled "Paradise Lost":
