One of the biggest guilt trips ever inflicted on man, and a sacred cow that needs to be sent to the slaughter house.
OVER 100 BIBLE TEXTS THAT SHOW THE DOCTRINE OF ORIGINAL SIN IS UNBIBLICAL AND FALSE
Boy, if you look at Romans 5 there certainly appears to be a basis for it.
Romans 5:12-21
12
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death came through sin, and so death spread to all because all have sinned— 13 sin was indeed in the world before the law, but sin is not reckoned when there is no law. 14 Yet death exercised dominion from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who is a type of the one who was to come.
15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man’s trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many. 16 And the free gift is not like the effect of the one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification. 17 If, because of the one man’s trespass, death exercised dominion through that one, much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness exercise dominion in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18
Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all. 19 For just as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. 20 But law came in, with the result that the trespass multiplied; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, just as sin exercised dominion in death, so grace might also exercise dominion through justificationa]">[

And god even referenced what he had done.
Genesis 8:21
And when the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done.
And a sin can't get much earlier than Adam's to be original.
Yeah, looking into it a bit Jesus doesn't seem to have mentioned "original sin" by name, probably because the concept wasn't given a label until the second century; however, just because he didn't identify it by name doesn't mean he didn't think it existed. Before Jesus' time the notion was mentioned in the OT.
Psalm 51:5 says
"I was born to do wrong,
a sinner before I left my mother’s womb."
And after Jesus it was also referred to.
Ephesians 2:3
All of us once lived among these people, and followed the desires of our corrupt nature.
We did what our corrupt desires and thoughts wanted us to do.
So, because of our nature, we deserved God’s anger just like everyone else.
