If mono-theists really believe in the concept of sin - I wonder what goes through their screwed-up little nuts, while they're consciously committing sins, like stealing, adultery, or masturbation. "I know there is this omnipotent, omnipresent being, that watches my every move, but I think I can get away with it, if I'm quick enough..."?
Perhaps it's more like: "I know God categorically forbids this, but he'll make an exception for me, because I'm special, somehow. "
Or is it: "God's a pussy. I'll do what I want now, tell God that I'm sorry later - and he'll have to forgive me, because he loves me so much..."
Or do they just conveniently become atheists/agnostics for brief periods of time?
If I believed in gravity, but occasionally walked out of windows, regardless of height, because I was a "flawed", imperfect human and my faith in gravity wasn't "strong enough" - I'd be locked up and heavily medicated, for my own safety. If you believe in a God and yet you risk eternal damnation by breaking any of his commandments, however minute - there must be something wrong with you.
EDIT: I mean - besides the fact that you believe in a God.
