>> [DW quoting Wikipedia] Total depravity (also called total inability
>> and total corruption) is a theological doctrine that derives from
>> the Augustinian doctrine of original sin and is advocated in many
>> Protestant confessions of faith and catechisms, including those of
>> Lutheranism, Anglicanism and Methodism, Arminianism, and Calvinism.
>> It is the teaching that, as a consequence of the Fall of Man, every
>> person born into the world is enslaved to the service of sin and,
>> apart from the efficacious or prevenient grace of God, is utterly
>> unable to choose to follow God or choose to accept salvation as it
>> is freely offered.

Oh.

On further consideration, I'm sorry I asked.
