KdeWhat is the greatest sin you've done in your life?
Steve AnonymousNice try Jesus!
ZerlynaShouldn’t he know already?
I mean in fairness it is Saturday. He’s probably phoning it in today so he can watch YouTube on the toilet.
NeilApparently not believing in God. My first introduction to the true mind of religious people was in the 4th grade when a classmate told me “I’m sorry you’re going to burn in hell forever” when I told her I was an atheist.
They’re going to hell now. Judge not lest you be judged and all that.
The ultimate uno reverse.
TeaHandsNot sure how old 4th grade is, but I’d have been about 6 or 7 when Amanda Jackson told me I couldn’t borrow her colouring pencils because I didn’t believe in Jesus. We’re in the UK, it’s not like it’s even such a huge thing over here, and joke’s on her anyway because in the end the teacher ruled that she had to share.
Screw you Amanda. Never forget.
Yeah, I never know what age a grade equates to. “4th grade” - is that age 4? Seems a bit young. So, if you start school about age 4, then that would be 1st grade I guess, so 4 + 4th grade would be age 8. Is that right?
Good guess. Generally about 8-9.
It’s usually your grade + 5. Most people start school around 4 or 5 but before first grade there’s kindergarten.
Provoked GamerAnd before that there’s preschool (optional) 3-4
I never went to preschool. I thought it was optional?
It is, I wrote optional in brackets
Cool, at least I’ll be in good company. I wouldn’t want to worship anyone who makes a place like that possible anyway.
Why do you assume all religious people think the way she does? Isn’t that painting with a broad brush just like she did?
Probably.
Should I do better with my thought process on it? Probably.
Please do note, though, I said that was my first introduction. I’ll let you guess how many more instances it took before I learned to keep my mouth shut and not reveal my non-belief under any circumstances.
The proper response to that is “At least I’ll be in good company.”

WeLoveCastingSpellzBeing bi. Also an atheist
I don’t believe in sins. I basically have my own set of morals and I’ll do what I want usually regardless of it’s illegality, it’s just where you draw the line for yourself.
Like as an extreme example I don’t not kill people because it’s illegal, more the consequences far outweigh the benefits. Whereas I i may have committed crimes that some would see as a sin, but to me it’s just a simple pros vs cons risk assessment.
Not just the consequences of killing someone, but in the moment, do you think you could actually do it? If your answer if yes, then I hope never to meet you.
What the actual fuck lol. So if there was a situation where rape and or murder’s consequences outweigh the benifits, then you’d be ok with it? You can justify anything with that mindset.
Do you have any empathy? Not everything is a transaction.
Alright, I’m curious and he cowardly wiped out his comment, what did he say?
They were saying something along the lines of how they don’t believe in sin and view things with the consequences they would bring. They said that they wouldn’t kill another person because the cons of killing a person outweighs the pros since the law exists.
Found the sociopath. “I don’t murder because it’s inconvenient”
Okay dude, you’re so hardcore
What did this say before he edited it
A lot of sexual stuff mainly.
“Aw, hell, I’m a fan of all seven.”
I see you aim to misbehave
investorsexchangeDo we have a c/UnexpectedFirefly yet?
Sterile_TechniqueI’ve participated in multiple abortions.
Weird how I haven’t burst in flames yet.
Have you thought about using your invulnerability to fire for fighting crime?
I’m imagining you’ve been the father, the mother and the doctor in these events that you have participated in.
I think that ticks a few sin boxes
None of the above: I’m a surgical tech, my role is to get the instruments, supplies, and equipment needed for a surgery; establish sterile fields and get those instruments etc on them in a sterile way; facilitate the actual surgery by making sure the surgeon never has idle hands (we have to know the surgeries well enough to anticipate what instrument the surgeon will want in each step), and get the room turned over for the next case.
It’s a cool job, but the pay’s kinda shit, so I don’t recommend it as anything other than a stepping stone to something like nursing, which is what I’m currently working toward.
Abortions aren’t sins! The Bible even explains how to perform one.
yeah but to know what sins actually are you gotta read the bible, and ain’t no christian got time for that! Easier to just let Fox tell us what our religion says is good or bad.
More like Fertile_Technique.
…yet. are you expecting something

Ex NummisGot sucked off in a church once. Wasn’t smitten.
Also: it was (luckily) by my gf, not the priest.
Call me Lenny/LeniDuring covid, I had one teensy moment of not being careful with myself, and I think I spread the virus. Down the line, I’m told someone died from it. I consider myself a woman of faith, and to this day, the idea I caused a death still terrifies me.
Joe BidetDoes the notion of “sin” not qualify as bigotry?
TerevosSin is most commonly defined as “wrong doing”. If you think murder is bigotry, I’m not sure what to tell you.
As a non-native English-speaker, what i find is:
Sin noun 1 transgression of divine law: the sin of Adam. 2 any act regarded as such a transgression, especially a willful or deliberate violation of some religious or moral principle."
(from www.dictionary.com/browse/sin?r=75&src=ref&am… )
both definition include a notion of religion.
not talking about murder here. just about the notion of “sin”.
The key word is moral here.
One of the ten commandments is do not commit murder.
Sin certainly has religious elements yes. But every wrong doing is sin. And the big ones are in the ten commandments, which include things like stealing, murder, and cheating on your spouse.
then why not wording as “what is the worst wrong doing you’ve done?” am asking from the standpoint of language (and the one of instance policy), as “sin you’ve done” sounds to me, at face value, like bigotry (ie. integrating the view of one religion as something universal and/or real)
So… People asking a religious question is bigotry?
You’re ridiculous man.
That’s what i am asking yes. Why is that ridiculous?

It’s not sinning if you ain’t religious
I’m gay and Atheist, so pretty pretty much just existing according to some.
According to the inventors of sin, sin is a crime or offense against God. If there is no deity, sin is impossible to commit. Also, they say all sin is equal: you are equally condemned for committing murder or for looking at someone lustfully. So this question, as worded, is deceptively hard to answer.
If you’re asking “what’s the most awesome thing you’ve done that people would consider a sin” well, I’d probably add to the list of people who answered with atheism, as questioning and searching for the truth is taboo in Abrahamic societies.
If you’re asking “what’s the most awful thing you’ve done?” Well, it might be somewhat tame, but I wake up in a cold sweat sometimes when I think about it. Imagine a 13-year-old kid confident of having the answers to someone’s questions, when a life is on the line.
DeltaTangoLimaI thought for myself, and became atheist.
Do you mean greatest as in most grievous or greatest as in most awesome?
What is the definition of greatest sin? Deadly sins in bible, the mworst crime commited or do I get to pick?
