      Shouldn’t he know already? Like one of those psychics. How do they stay in business?

        I mean in fairness it is Saturday. He’s probably phoning it in today so he can watch YouTube on the toilet.

      Not sure how old 4th grade is, but I’d have been about 6 or 7 when Amanda Jackson told me I couldn’t borrow her colouring pencils because I didn’t believe in Jesus. We’re in the UK, it’s not like it’s even such a huge thing over here, and joke’s on her anyway because in the end the teacher ruled that she had to share.

      Screw you Amanda. Never forget.

      Why do you assume all religious people think the way she does? Isn’t that painting with a broad brush just like she did?

      The proper response to that is “At least I’ll be in good company.”

      Joke’s on her anyway. I’d say she’s going to be disappointed when she dies, but she won’t be anything.

        yeah but to know what sins actually are you gotta read the bible, and ain’t no christian got time for that! Easier to just let Fox tell us what our religion says is good or bad.

      I’m imagining you’ve been the father, the mother and the doctor in these events that you have participated in.

        None of the above: I’m a surgical tech, my role is to get the instruments, supplies, and equipment needed for a surgery; establish sterile fields and get those instruments etc on them in a sterile way; facilitate the actual surgery by making sure the surgeon never has idle hands (we have to know the surgeries well enough to anticipate what instrument the surgeon will want in each step), and get the room turned over for the next case.

        It’s a cool job, but the pay’s kinda shit, so I don’t recommend it as anything other than a stepping stone to something like nursing, which is what I’m currently working toward.

    Got sucked off in a church once. Wasn’t smitten.

    Also: it was (luckily) by my gf, not the priest.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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 not from a religious background but I always thought sex before marriage is a sin, no? I’m not sure how in modern times sex before marriage between two consenting adults is being a dick.

        In some Christianity. Many define it in terms of disobeying God, which can conflict pretty badly with the not-being-a-dick thing depending on interpretation

          In correct Christianity. (Yes, I am bigoted about what sort of Christianity is correct.)

          Obeying God is, a) not being a dick to God, and b) not being a dick is easier said than done and God understands this better than we do.

          Agreed the interpretation can turn this to either seem bad or genuinely be bad; and there are other also-valid ways to oversimplify it. But I still contend that in genuine Christianity not-sin is at least essentially close to not-being-a dick as long as you can think ahead to later consequences of your actions and not be a dick with the consequences either.

    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.

      you didn’t expect the complete denial of religion for oneself being a sin of following a religion??? the whole point of following a religion is following that religion. not following it is in large part a sin. of course there are exceptions, but if we are speaking about judaic religions (the most common use of the word sin), literally not following the religion is a sin.
