Incorrect.

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/concept?s=t

In no way does the concept disappear if the subject exists.  Someone can close her eyes and quite easily conceptualize a chair.  

Someone can even easily conceptualize that which does not exist, which is shown throughout history just how powerful is the imagination of man; especially when it comes to such supernatural concepts as god and the boogeyman.

 That resource doesn't give any hint to a concept existing after the object becomes reality. You really need to find out what a concept is.

Concepts are mental representations of both abstractions and actual, real things. If you can think of a rock, you have a concept of a rock. Your concept of rock was generalized/abstracted from you learning the common properties of rocks. There are millions of different types of chair, your abstract concept of 'chairs' is what lets you recognize both an arm chair and a beanbag chair as both being chairs. If the concept of chair actually disappeared, you'd cease to know what a chair is.

That's not even close to reality, a rock can't be a concept because it existed before man, man neither conceptualized a rock nor made one, you might say God did though.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Been there, done, that, G-C.  We've tried your religious horseshit before.  Humanity was tortured by sanctimonious fuckheads like you for thousands of years and in the Middle East it continues.

Fuck religion.  Fuck your god.  Fuck you.

There are crimes. There are actions which hurt others. There are actions which harm the planet. There is plenty of wrongdoing. 

Humans are capable of change. We are capable of forgiveness. Forgiveness is a human concept. 

I am not a sinner!

Well according to you, there is no such thing as egg-laying mammals either, so maybe you're just mistaken all around...

Sllly! I have already admitted my mistake about monotremes. Pay attention. I am not a sinner. Neither are you. We are both mammals. Primates. Cousins to the chimpanzees. Humans created gods and the concept of sin.

Sin is just an old name for crime or breaking of the law of God.

If you say there isn't any sin, then there isn't any law of God, and of course you aren't a sinner.

In the absence of these, who or what determines what crime is?

Humans created gods and their laws. We create laws and determine what crime is. We always have. IMHO, We just do not have sky fairies to embellish our laws and law givers with extra authority. One crime is called fraud. The creators of the concept of sin committed fraud and are guilty of this crime.
I hold the humans perpetuating these lies accountable today. In the court of public opinion, that is.

OK, let's try again: your concept of a rock is how you know a rock is a rock. Without having a concept of a rock, you wouldn't know what one is. It's how you can tell a rock you've never seen before is a rock. Because you know what a rock is. You have a concept of what a rock is. If you see an object that doesn't fit that concept, you conclude it is not a rock.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Does the rock even exist without the concept of it? Or does the rock exist without the absence of the rock?


Edited to add: What does it mean to be a rock, what is rockyness?

RE: There Is No Sin!
Something tells me that a mountain is still there when I'm not looking at it, and regardless of whether or not I had ever seen a mountain or had a concept of a mountain.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
