It took me a while to get the joke – OK, I set myself up for your laughter, but I looked at the guy climbing the wall/fence; looked at the words; and looked at the Holy Guy.
I really didn’t notice the gate opening behind the Holy Guy and especially didn’t notice the word HEAVEN at the top of the gate opening.
I really think I would have gotten this in 5 sec if the Gate Opening and Heaven were closer to the middle and not off to the far right behind the Holy Guy.

Most people think that if you are good they get to go through those gates of pearl. Nobody gets to the father except through the Son. Not as funny as the cartoon but good stuff.
It’s a recognition that once original sin entered into mankind it became permanent and was passed down from generation to generation and is still a part of us (father to son in the Christian faith, everything from Karma to demons in others).
This is why Jesus was born of the Father and Mary directly, if his father had been Man he would have inherited original sin and been unable to pay the price of sin for the World as the perfect and unblemished sacrifice, The wages of sin is death and perfect death is necessary to pay the price of sin perfectly, sinful man is not perfect and cannot do so on his own,
“Original sin was man choosing through his free will to make the rules to live by for himself and usurping God’s rules for him.”
Me thinks that Christians have no idea what free will truly means. Hint: If you are going to be punished for failing to follow someone else’ rules……..that’s not free will……..it’s subjugation. How is this not obvious?
Original sin is another bullshit premise. You’re guilty of sin simply by being born? By that logic we whites may as well start paying reparations to every aggrieved minority. Original sin is the same theory the govt operates under. ObammyCare anyone?
Religion………the original sheople control mechanism………GIT SOME!

Mexicans channel their inner Mallory, they have to climb a wall because it’s there. Like HF’s character asking for more weight, they ask for more height. They might even vote for Trump if he really means it when he promises a higher wall

No other religion admonishes us humans that we are sinful simply for being alive.
Now that’s evil.

All of then do. [them]
Sorry, you cannot speak for the Buddhists (do you realize how many of them there are?) All human suffering comes from ignorance and attachment, not original sin. They don’t carry that weight of ignorance called original sin.
[I’m not looking for a religious argument, just pointing out that at least one religion has no “original sin” component. Signing off!]
Well, at least they’re Catholics….

The only wall that keeps you out of Heaven is the wall of your own sin.
And you cannot climb over that wall, you carry it with you, it always remains in front of you.
Christ offers removal of that wall by freely given payment of the debt of your sin if you accept it, no other religion does.

so how is original sin any different from liberal browbeating?
Original sin was man choosing through his free will to make the rules to live by for himself and usurping God’s rules for him.
The source of all our problems, something which is evident in today’s world if you ponder it a bit.
“originally” there were no words. funny that gods rule only expresses itself in words.
but oh its so convenient that god is words
