the nature of sin

RE: the nature of sin
Wow. I...er....well - so you're saying God has no power on earth. Well, we're in agreement there! But Satan does....nope, evidence fail. Also "there's a prayer that goes yaketty yak yak" is not a source of evidence for ANYTHING. Anybody can make up a prayer - it'll hold as much water as a sieve, just like the rest. THE BIBLE IS JUST ANOTHER BOOK - WHY THINK IT SPECIAL?

No one cares, Drich.

I am saying God's kingdom does not include earth. Hence our prayer for his kingdom to come here and his will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Good. We don't do kings anymore.
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!

We have a queen.

Not so big on god though. 


By the way in the UK atheists are seen as better people than theists.

http://churchandstate.org.uk/2018/01/bri...than-good/

Quote:Fewer than a quarter of Britons believe religion is a force for good. On the contrary, over half believe religion does more harm than good. Even 20% of Britons who describe themselves as ‘very religious’ are on record stating religion is harmful to society.

RE: the nature of sin
Why pray?
If your god is all seeing and all knowing why waste his/her/it's time telling him things he knows already?
Why do people go to a church to pray, does the communication not work well unless you are located in a particular building? What is the mechanism for this communication, does it work like radio or email or pigeon post?
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

Sin is nothing more than a priestly construct designed to control people through fear and guilt.  Dodgy

ah, no. Sin link to morality only represents 1/3 of what sin is. when look at as a whole sin is a completely different construct.

I think that you may be missing the point that there is no sin. Discussing the nature of sin is thus similar to trying to figure out unicorn genetics.

That's one of the main reasons that your Youtube videos are so tiresome. They all elaborate on the fine details of a Deity that you've failed to demonstrate exists in the first place. It's like a treatise on plausible mechanisms for dragon fire that fails to establish the existence of dragons.

RE: the nature of sin
Sin is when you see people as things.

Something that holy writings seem to advocate I have to say.
