Showing some life? Have I seemed like a corpse before?
I think you're interpreting 'sin' personally. Of course if you do a person wrong, it's them you need to put things right with. What about things you do to yourself? What about things to do to an impersonal other?? How do you reconcile those? Are you left with loads of issues as a result of that lack of resolution?
We only need a deity to forgive what we done wrong to said deity. In this case we recognise our fallabily; reconcile that and get on with living without anything not reconciled.

Yeah dead from the neck up
No wonder you didn't understand it, I seemed to leave some words out
Ahem, let me try again, "Sin is just a word just as any other, but the idea behind it is something I cannot agree with". There, is it more lucid this time? And of course I'm interpreting sin personally, everyone else seems to do so too. I have no issues with myself, no regrets, nothing to forgive myself for, but I'm wondering if you could elaborate on the "things I do to myself" mean?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
