I don't dislike the word sin. I just think its not needed if its not used for religious reasons. And can cause misunderstandings.
If its used for religious reasons then I don't believe such a thing exists. I don't believe 'sinning exists'. Only acts of immorality. Only doing bad things.
And once again if thats all you mean by sin then I don't think such a word is needed. It can cause misunderstanding because its so often used in a religious way.
If you believe in God, and the bible, but you do NOT believe you are religious. Why use the word sin? What's good about using such a word? All it does is cause misunderstanding.
Do you want to USE the word simply to mean "immoral action or wrong doing", JUST because it says it in the bible? For completely non-religious reasons but used anyway just because it says it in the bible?
Or do you think that there are some sins, some offenses against God, that you do realize aren't actually immoral actions or wrong doings? So that's why you call them sins?
Why use the word if you're not religious? It only causes misunderstanding. Why use such a word rather than simply saying its a wrong action? Or unethical? Or Immoral?
