OK, Solomon, I skipped a few steps, here. No matter what the origins sin
are, Jesus said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." So why
didn't Jesus cast the first stone? Well, maybe if Jesus had known what
would become of it, he would have been casting stones left and right, but he
didn't, ergo, sin is a Jewish thing.
