Shouldn’t he know already? Like one of those psychics. How do they stay in business?

I mean in fairness it is Saturday. He’s probably phoning it in today so he can watch YouTube on the toilet.

Got sucked off in a church once. Wasn't smitten.

Also: it was (luckily) by my gf, not the priest.

I'm gay and Atheist, so pretty pretty much just existing according to some.

It’s not sinning if you ain’t religious

During 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.

Definitely the time I puked all over a homeless guy on the Red Line and then just... got off the train. I was very drunk, but that's no excuse.

Gross, yet probably not unusual for the Red line.

Sin isn't real. Live your life however you want without being a dick to others

Probably all the gasoline I’ve burned.

I thought for myself, and became atheist.

Being a christian

ETA: I've since repented of that. I'm still trying to amend for my time in that backwards cult.

A lot of sexual stuff mainly.

[–] Kde@jlai.lu 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

what i meant by sin was the most evil act , (like someone said puking on homeless person) , but i am still satisfied with the answers that you gave me about how being a atheist is considered the greatest sin , i didnt expected atheism to be such a huge sin in religion but i guess i was wrong.

[–] scrypt@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

you didn’t expect the complete denial of religion for oneself being a sin of following a religion??? the whole point of following a religion is following that religion. not following it is in large part a sin. of course there are exceptions, but if we are speaking about judaic religions (the most common use of the word sin), literally not following the religion is a sin.

Being bi. Also an atheist

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.
