From bluesky:

Posit that to be judged for a sin implies that information about the sin is available to god/jesus.

Information implies entropy implies energy implies mass.

...so you can run an attack on heaven by sinmaxxing so hard Christ converts into a black hole from sheer acquired mass-energy and oneshots God by trapping him in something not even His light can escape from

@cstross typically fatuous assumptions at work here. why should one assume that it takes much more information to describe a million sins than to describe only one? sins generalize with ease. that's why the concept of cardinal sins exists, because sins fall readily into a compact set of abstractions, and all individual sins boil down to "being A (the sinner) willfully injured being B (the victim)" with the rest being incidental detail in the eyes of a Creator who already knows all details of Creation anyway.

@mxchara But sins are committed by sinners! Which implies more than one bit of information per sin. Indeed, there may be mitigating or modifying parameters. Every instance of a sin is unique and must be accounted for separately!

@cstross @mxchara Each sin must have a sinner and each sinner can commit multiple sins, but many sinners may commit the same sins. Therefore sins and sinners have a many to many relationship, each requiring the other as a foreign key.

Normalise sinning!

@woe2you @cstross Sinning is already normalized, it's baked in (q.v. "original sin", the intrinsic faultiness of human behavior)

@mxchara @cstross But you can't just rock up to the confessional and say "original sin, what do I get?" Sins must be enumerated in order to be confessed and must be confessed in order to be forgiven, that's a new sins.sinId each time.
