And aside from that, I was talking from an angle that both Wallym and I agreed upon.
Oh yeah, sin of what exactly? So what are we losing for not recognizing this "mystical link"? Would you act less moral if you didn't believe that morality is the link to god?
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"
