All those "thou shalt nots" are pronouncements about thoughts and actions that "the lord" deems abominable, not a system for assessing morality. If a god truly wanted to eliminate sin, it would eliminate itself from the equation. No more god to sin against - no more sin. That or announce that it's reconsidered the whole sin thing; and actually, working on the sabbath or making graven images aren't so bad after all. But of course the church needs the guilt card in its hand, or it has no power.

It's essentially the same reason why I, as an Englishman, am unable to commit the crime of blasphemy - because the concept of its being a crime has been removed from our statute books. Sure, others can object all they want about my giving their pet god the bird, but I cannot be touched for it.


Ok., suppose that.........No more god to sin against - no more sin...........then no karma no later punishment if we do commit a crime except if we are unlucky to be caught by the cops.

I guess it would be even better if there are no cops either so we can escape any punishment altogether isn't it ?

Gee, I never thought about it Cyb!  Bird

In the US we have more laws on the books than any other country, we also have more people incarcerated or under some kind of legal custody than in any other country. If the threat of impending punishment curtailed human propensity for evil, things here wold be rather different, don't you think?

If God would not be silent and tell you where the real McCoy is and how to get it easily then life would have no meaning.

Oh yeah... that's why... Jerkoff
I think the church calls it the Holy Grail. At least when scientists were looking for the higgs boson they had a clear definition of what they were looking for and a universal consensus when they found it.
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.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
