I'm not sure I agree about the "morally uneducated" being incapable of sin (as in original-sin type sin, not "separation from God"), primarily because I've known folks who willfully refuse to think about their actions or moral quandaries.

Ah, but if they're *willfully* refusing, then they've moved past "morally uneducated" (or at least, as I meant it.) Personally, I've never met anyone *I* think qualifies as morally uneducated who was older than 8 years old, because society itself starts to teach you. In order to willfully refuse to consider the morals of their situation, someone would have had to suggest to them that their moral education was deficient, whereupon they're not "pristine" enough to qualify as free from "original sin". Clear as mud? ::grin::
