Are the words "Sin" and "Hell" a trigger to you Atheists?
#52
RE: Are the words "Sin" and "Hell" a trigger to you Atheists?
My wife appears to have some sort of belief in hell, even though she's not religious. I couldn't joke around about the subject with her without upsetting her, I expect. I don't know where she got it from. I think "sin" would be less problematic but would still carry a little weight.
Feel free to send me a private message.
