[Drich]

So let me get this straight. You see a sinner in distress. You want to be kind toward that person. However, this tribal god forbids you to help or comfort them.

You do not understand the purpose of identifying sin. It is not to regaurd yourself above another. The identification of sin serves one purpose. In that is shows all to be sinners. To segergate yourself from other sinners is an act of selfrighteousness.

[quote]Not all sin is evil, but all evil is indeed sin.

Wow that makes no sense.

Lying, is a sin. even to lie to save a life is still a sin. However it is not an act of Evil.

So "free will" is sin. Okay... Kind of already gathered that from your first argument.

It's the ablity to sin.

All the rest of the world's religions and theists disagree with you... yay! Why should I believe ANY of you?

You should believe anything you are not committed to explore.
