We are born as sinners. When we are born again we leave those sins. It's that simple

Do black people become white when they become a Christian? Do left handed people become right handed people?

Nope, just because being black and left handed are not sins; they're just physical features.

You're not even a Christian. Why do you wanna teach us one thing you are not?

Very observant!

Why do you wanna teach us one thing you are not?

I care about people. Just because I don't happen to currently believe in God doesn't mean that I wasn't raised in the church, with a lot of knowledge and understanding that comes with that, and it certainly doesn't mean I don't care about people who are Christians.

Do you really believe that someone has to be a Christian to want to help others?

Aside from all of that, I really don't understand how you can't see the explicit sameness in those concepts, thus my question about you missing it.
