'Sin' is defined as going against divine law, or against laws laid down by a deity(ies). But as we Atheists don't acknowledge the existence of a 'God', therefore we can't sin.
Besides, I've never smoked in my life, I drink very rarely (lkess so in this recession; it costs too much, natch!), I've never embezzled, and having one off the wrist to pr0n is a normal & healthy thing.
Your call, hd.
Funny, two of the "sins" you mentioned aren't even bad (porn, drinking), and one is harmful but not really immoral (smoking).
Actually, Jesus drank wine. I believe Paul told Timothy to drink wine as well.
...I don't even do any of them. Moron.
...Except for maybe the occasional ecchi anime. But it isn't really porn so it's okay.
Call me petty but it bothers me when people refer to God as solely male...weren't women also created in God's image?! If not, then in whose image ARE we made?! Why can't you stand the idea of a powerful female? There is a Divine Feminine and She can be proven from the Bible (www.christiansforthedivinefeminine.com )
Sorry for ranting but, as a woman, having an all-male Supreme Being is a bit disconcerting to me. To be fair, I don't like when the Divine is referred to as all female either.
I don't "sin".......and that's not because of the influence from your "god".
Funny....coming from an atheist huh? With all that "without religion, there are no morals" panic that out there
Does written erotica count as porn?
Other then the erotica, the only thing on that list I've done is drinking, and I hardly ever do that.
Is murder a major sin? I chose not to do that when I was a child, and I have never done so. And I don't even need the threat of hellfire to keep from doing so.
Evidently, your god is superfluous
“Why not take action believe”
Can you believe in the god, Zeus, for one hour?
Forsake your God just for sixty minutes? Is it a choice for you?
"and take GOD at his word?”
Because i can’t see anything in ‘his’ word that tells me it must have been divinely sourced.
“... Why not pick a major sin like smoking or drinking”
Exactly what tells you that smoking is a major sin?
Or drinking?
Chapter, verse?
"9or embezzeling or pornagraphy and just not do it and see what happens?”
Oh, okay. I already don’t embezelle. And what happens? Bugger all, huh?
Confused?
