When you compare apples to apples...
So, comparing apples to apples is that sin causes god to feel raped?
In our soceity Rape is a henious crime. In God's ecconomy ALL SIN have the same value. Meaning no matter how we trivialize Sin/Grade it, God sees it as being as bad if not worse than what we see as our soceities greatest sins. So to ask God for forgivness of sin is tantimount to asking for forgiveness for our understanding of what a great sin is. I used rape because that is about as bad as you can get and live to tell the tale. It is also one that harbors great resentment and anger by the victim towards the agressor.
