That said when atheists do not want to use that word is when they know they can't possiable win an arguement when the crux of the arguement is based on sin. Then out come the reminders that 'technically' you do not even believe in it.
Well, we don't believe in it. But you do, and when we see that you lot behave in ways that violate the supposed tenets of your beliefs- including your belief in sin- then pointing it out is a valid argument.

Do you know the difference between sin and gravity? I can demonstrate that gravity exists. I can see it in action, feel it working, even study a theoretical model of how it works. Not so for sin.
Quote:No?!? You mean your still bound by the laws of graveity even though you do not believe in them??? Then I wonder if your non-belief in sin will really help you float away from accountablity to it?
I doubt we're going to lose much sleep over it. After all, I don't see you fretting about all the insults you cause daily to all the other gods, by worshiping this false one that you do. They all have exactly the same nonexistent level of evidentiary support, after all.
