No one's perfect, everyone makes mistakes, etc etc, so why admit that to the church or 'god' or whoever? Why give them that importance? I'd rather tell a human who I respect and trust. I don't get how admitting that makes people feel better, or improves them. If someone can explain, I'd be very interested to read it.
It comes from the concept that a naked teenager in a theme park sinned and you inherited it. This was built in to make sure everybody NEEDS god and the priests are the way to get there. Sneaky way to guarantee repeat business.
