- Go to I don't believe in sin
Hi kooka
You are well on your way. Christ himself said that it is what comes out of the mouth that is 'sin' not what goes in. I believe the real point of spirituality is to take care of each other now. Not to score points for some future ressurection. If we feel that some thing is harmful that we are doing or thinking it is a sin. The paradox is that as soon as we nare capable of realizing this and living it by making amends or personal repentance, I believe we are beyond sin. Once forgiven, always forgiven.
Personally, I have no worries any more. I know what I know. Life only gets better. Without the promise of heaven.

organized religion
is a government -- a bureaucracy -- people get in the way of spirituality.
you don't need a priest to tell you about god.
of course there are some who do -- and that's fine.
RickyJFico is going to tell us probably why we all need a religious body -- when all the religious bodies I know of have lost the basics of real religion.
Mr. F. there has a lot of splainin to do.

sin leads to guilt and guilt requires proitiation which creates a class which will accept the propitation in exchange for absolution of guilt so that they can be kept by those who feel they need the absolution who pay well for such -- a class that needs do no honest work, just absolve sins.
