What gets me is when Christians claim that without religion we would have no moral absolutes.
Excuse me?
I believe moral absolutes exist in spite of religion. Religion (church) skews the morals to fit their denominational beliefs.
To me, sin is simply a violation of God's purpose. But then that becomes subjective as well because it begs the question of what is God's purpose.
que sera seera and all that.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
