Original sin or original innocence?

     Many of you are likely familiar with this debate. Are we born pure, only to have our spirits darkened by society or are we born with sin in our hearts striving to be better than our nature?
     It should be noted that 'Original sin' is an important theme in Christianity. Adam and Eve tainted mankind when they ate of the fruit.
     Others maintain that children are perfect in their innocence. Pure and untainted.

     Thoughts?
