Sin isn’t real. Live your life however you want without being a dick to others
without being a dick to others
Well there you go, you’ve just defined sin(lessness)
Not everyone has the same definition though - but if you’re coming from a Christian-influenced culture, that’s not far off the core meaning of sin in Christianity, just with an added “easier said than done”
I’m gay and Atheist, so pretty pretty much just existing according to some.
Neither of those are sin, Christians just don’t understand what sin is, the word itself means “to miss the mark” how is being gay missing the mark? It’s not, it only used to be because being gay basically sentenced your entire family to starvation, last I checked your kin aren’t starving to death because you have a partner are they? Also Jesus would prefer you be an athiest than a false Christian. Everyone is saved anyway so even ‘belief’ isn’t necessary to be resurrected in the kingdom on earth.

During covid, I had one teensy moment of not being careful with myself, and I think I spread the virus. Down the line, I’m told someone died from it. I consider myself a woman of faith, and to this day, the idea I caused a death still terrifies me.
Probably all the gasoline I’ve burned.
Actually based understanding of sin.
Definitely the time I puked all over a homeless guy on the Red Line and then just… got off the train. I was very drunk, but that’s no excuse.
didnt expected that
I didn’t, he didnt, it was unexpected and terrible for everyone.
Gross, yet probably not unusual for the Red line.
I thought for myself, and became atheist.
I wear mixed fabrics.
Daily.Being bi. Also an atheist

What the actual fuck lol. So if there was a situation where rape and or murder’s consequences outweigh the benifits, then you’d be ok with it? You can justify anything with that mindset.
Not just the consequences of killing someone, but in the moment, do you think you could actually do it? If your answer if yes, then I hope never to meet you.
Do you have any empathy? Not everything is a transaction.
Alright, I’m curious and he cowardly wiped out his comment, what did he say?
They were saying something along the lines of how they don’t believe in sin and view things with the consequences they would bring. They said that they wouldn’t kill another person because the cons of killing a person outweighs the pros since the law exists.
A lot of sexual stuff mainly.
what i meant by sin was the most evil act , (like someone said puking on homeless person) , but i am still satisfied with the answers that you gave me about how being a atheist is considered the greatest sin , i didnt expected atheism to be such a huge sin in religion but i guess i was wrong.
Does the notion of “sin” not qualify as bigotry?
Sin is most commonly defined as “wrong doing”. If you think murder is bigotry, I’m not sure what to tell you.
As a non-native English-speaker, what i find is:
Sin
noun
1 transgression of divine law: the sin of Adam.
2 any act regarded as such a transgression, especially a willful or deliberate violation of some religious or moral principle."
(from https://www.dictionary.com/browse/sin?r=75&src=ref&ch=dic )
both definition include a notion of religion.
not talking about murder here. just about the notion of “sin”.
The key word is moral here.
One of the ten commandments is do not commit murder.
Sin certainly has religious elements yes. But every wrong doing is sin. And the big ones are in the ten commandments, which include things like stealing, murder, and cheating on your spouse.
then why not wording as “what is the worst wrong doing you’ve done?” am asking from the standpoint of language (and the one of instance policy), as “sin you’ve done” sounds to me, at face value, like bigotry (ie. integrating the view of one religion as something universal and/or real)
So… People asking a religious question is bigotry?
You’re ridiculous man.
That’s what i am asking yes. Why is that ridiculous?
The word itself is better translated as “to miss the mark” the mark being perfect love, a fuck load of people think they aren’t sinning are, just by living in a first world country, and a boat load of athiests, Muslims, Hindus, Sheiks etc aren’t sinning as much as Christians think.
I think I might be a Nihilist… so nothing maybe?
The greatest sin ever committed was convincing humans that sin was real.
