That sounds like he's the one that needs to change. Not us.
Sin is such an idiotic concept. That anyone with a functioning brain thinks it's real utterly baffles me.
"Here's something an omnipotent, omniscient being simply cannot abide, described in only the vaguest of terms (and just so happening to coincide with tribal needs). Something that can only be atoned for if you believe this omnipotent, omniscient being sent himself down as his own son to live as and ultimately be sacrificed by man for the good of man."
It's pants on head territory. And the contortions used to justify it would make Hideo Kojima blush.
