discipulus, as to your reply to me. While you (may) mean well, if a god exists, you are not him. If a god exists, you have not been elected to speak for him. If I talk to another theist, he will admonish me in a different way than you, and if I speak to a deist, he will have something else to say, different than the theist. I could speak to 100 different people, all speaking on behalf of their religion, all thinking they have a right to chastise me in the name of a god.
You are guessing at best as to what YOU think a god would be like.
If a god exists, you have not been elected to speak for him. Religion breeds a false sense of certainty and no offense, arrogance. Since you believe in sin, then you too are a sinner yes? Ah, a sinner telling me, another poor sinner, how to conduct my life.
That is the biggest problem of Christianity. Many people instructing others how to pull the weeds out of their own yards while their yards are overrun by them.
