Sin is a bag of religious shit!!
Doing wrong to my fellowman is another thing. But sin? I don't SIN every bloody day!!! I'm not having ANY of that sinister mind-controlling bullshit anymore.
Once upon a time i might have believed that if all i'd done all day that was bad was swearing (in my head, even bad THOUGHTS for pitys sake, no watyout there!) that i'd SINNED. I was therefore a BAD person, deserved to die, needed jesus sacrifice, needed to bow and ask forgiveness. Sod OFF!! I say that to anyone who dares call me a sinner. It's all about CONTROLLING. You are BAD, you need to come to me (god and his visible representatives) and kiss my feet.
If anyone here has such low self-esteem that they need to call themselves in this way every day, then i feel sorry for them. It's truly sad.
Peace
