Tao Bible - Psalm 51:5

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
~ King James version ~

We are each born pure of our internal nature.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
Here we find a common theme repeated throughout the Bible: each of us is born sinful.

The ancient Taoist sages took the opposite view. From their standpoint, we are each born in the ways of Tao. It only is via the process of socialization that we move away from our internal nature.
