What gets me is when Christians claim that without religion we would have no moral absolutes.
Excuse me?
I believe moral absolutes exist in spite of religion. Religion (church) skews the morals to fit their denominational beliefs.
To me, sin is simply a violation of God's purpose. But then that becomes subjective as well because it begs the question of what is God's purpose.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
