"I think Christians may have to accept that sin isn't the reason why we're frail. That frailty isn't even an enemy. That frailty is simply on the journey with us. To teach us, hold us, cry with us. And to transform us into whom we are meant to be. This last point is important to understand because "sin" isn't pathological. The Hebrew word for sin is chait, which, when modernized, suggests not making it to one's destination. The word directly refers to personal potential. And so sin isn't what's inherently wrong with us; it's the process whereby we learn to live out who we are meant to be. It is about how we can grow rather than how we are impeded. It's about who we are becoming rather than who we once were."
Why do religious people use what they don't know to support what they do know? It should be the other way around. You don't know how the world was crated or how man evolved, you're just using the myth you were born into to explain something that science has a way better understanding of. This is not 1600s pre-Enlightenment.
And if you're going to use the Bible as your guide, there is this thing called the New Testament, the part with Jesus. As for the 7 sins thrown around as a moral code, they are not even in the Bible.
God = you = sinner = God is a sinner. If I were to believe in a God, he would be so great, he would not need all these weak spokespeople giving out promises they could never fulfill or prove. The Pope is covering up child rape. End. Of. Story.
Be kind because it feels good.
