1. Do you lie? How many times have you lied to save your butt?
Yep. and many times. I do not regard this as a sin though.
2. Do you steal, regardless of how small in value an item is? If someone in front of you in a crowd somewhere dropped something of great worth and you were the only one who noticed would you return that item to the owner or nip it?
I would return it.
3. Do you look at women with lust? That is do you naughty daydreams about an attractive girl you've seen or met?
More than daydream sometimes (yes, painfully honest). Also, I do not regard this as a sin.
4. Have you ever wanted something that belonged to someone else and if the chance to have it presented itself would you take it by the horns, or walk away?
Yes, if by that last bit you mean steal it then no, if you mean obtain it through legal means then yes.
5. Would you give a hundred bucks away if someone on the street asked for it?
Nope. Oh dollars! Yeah sure, they're worthless anyway. . But seriously, no I wouldn't.
6. If you got into a fight with someone, and you know this person is just plain wrong and that you're right would you forgive this person anyway,and be the first to apologize in fact?
Forgive him? He's done nothing wrong, why should I forgive him. I'd just tell him he's wrong, if he keeps on whining he's right I'll just walk away.
7. The bible says no greater love can a man display than to lay his life down for a friend. Would you do this?
Depends on the situation.
If you pass this test with honesty and sincerity then I would say yes in deed, a sinless man is a possible happening.
Since I don't seem to have committed any sin (in fact, I say there is no such thing as a sin except for people who are religious types). Do I pass?

I hunt for the truth
