but you will not deny that deep down you do believe that sin exists.
​
Here we go: xians believing that deep, deep down we all believe what they believe.
​
Is there no end to xian arrogance?

Re: Dear Woodsy
My favorite and self- coined motto is being open-minded with a sieve.
​
But that's just it isn't it? You are not being open minded. You will not accept any conclusion that does not support your belief in your god.
​
Your sieve means that you will ignore this post like the others that challenge your a priori assumptions that your god exists.
​
Your are intellectually bankrupt, on this point.

Re: Dear Woodsy
The idea of sin merely hands power to those who contrive to tell others what things are sinful.

You closet Emancipatory Marxist, you.

Re: Dear Woodsy
(please excuse this off-topic item)
​
I made the phrase up, really. I meant it to mean that you are defining the location of the 'power' in terms of conflict between two entities (the Marxist bit) and by highlighting this attempting to reduce the power differential (the Emancipatory bit).
​
I do apologise, I've been reading social research again
