What Exactly Are Sins?

[popsthebuilder]

If adulterous thoughts equal adultery, I doubt anyone has not been "guilty". It's a ridiculous notion designed just so that everyone will fail and Christianity can come to the rescue of us wretches.

Bollocks. What goes on in people's heads hurts no one, and is no one's business but their own, or those they choose to share it with. To say a thought is the same as the action is absurd, and one of the most harmful ideas Christianity brings. If I really believed God was judging me for every thought I had, my life would be a constant misery.

According to Jesus, I cheat on my wife several times a day. According to reality, I have never and will never cheat on my wife. So fuck Jesus. If it upsets Jesus and God, they need to grow up and stop being cry babies. I care about actual people and actions, not people's private thoughts or the opinions of magical pencil toppers.

That's kinda the point, I think. All have sinned. Knowledge of this and real effort against sin is key to selfless enlightenment, as are selfless thoughts, and actions. Actions are always more productive than thoughts, regardless of direction.
