Re: Are we to repent for our ancestors past sins?

None of us were created out of thin air. Our very material form, its cells, matter, all the way down to our chromosomes and DNA came from... our ancestors. We are biological extensions of their very being. They are our "flesh and blood" and we are their "flesh and blood". Every single remaining epigenetic tag produced by any traumatic experience, pleasurable experience, preference, or lifestyle choice that they ever had remains in us and makes us bear a living imprint of all that they ever were. We are our ancestors... and ultimately... we are all Adam. Was not the entire human race in his very loins? Though we have a distinct consciousness from them... we cannot deny the reality that as organisms go, they essentially continue to live... in us.
