Isn't practically everything under catholic religion a sin? Even if you are reading this post you are committing a sin of omission because instead you could be helping impoverished people on the street and you're wasting your money on electricity to run your device that could buy food for hungry people. Not to mention watching TV, buying more then two peaces of cloth, playing games, reading, sleeping more then 7 hours a day etc. you get what I'm aiming - it's all sin of omission, all that wasted time and money that could be used for the poor.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
