I reject the notion that I'm a slave to anyone. I'm a human, and I have my limits, as every human does, but those are my limits, not god's or sin's. Why does there have to be a god or sin or anything that I have to be a slave to? If you just remove those perimeters, wouldn't we all just be better off?We are tied to sin, that what makes us a slave to it. It's not something we elect, it is a bondage we are born into. If you do not think this to be the case the simply sin no more.

And being a slave to sin is just being a slave to god in a roundabout fashion, since god created sin, too. Whee.
Not that I believe a word of this particular kind of mental debasement is worth anything more than simmering disgust, but, hey.
Lets see a list of things bad that god hasn't removed:
Illness
HIV/AIDS
Nazis
KKK
Taliban
Al-Qeada
Sex offenders (esp the religious ones)
Crime
War
Death
Murder
Heart attacks
Cancer
Slavery (like you said)
Attention-whore religious extremists
MANY other things
I've noticed a pattern in your list. They seem to be things out of your control. Is that what makes them 'bad?'
