I feel extremely sad to think of all those people around the world hating themselves for "sins" which are often nothing more than natural behaviour. I can't stand it that they are internally punishing themselves because people who are meant to care for them have broken their mind down with mythical poison. All of that sadness, people thinking they have something to apologize for, when in fact sin is absolutely nothing. It's a man made myth.
Sin is not the same as immorality. If you willingly do something you know is wrong, actually wrong because it hurts someone, then it's natural to feel guilty about that. But sin is not to do with what is wrong, it's an arbitrary set of things that God doesn't like. And since there's no reason to think this God is real, there's no reason to think sin is either.
Such suffering over nothing, so many people blaming themselves for things they can't possibly even control. That's one of the reasons why christianity is such a vile, evil religion. It turns people against themselves, and then pretends to offer the solution. It makes me sick.
