Where do the Atheist, Agnostics, and Secularists get to talk about sin?
In my somewhat quaint view of the universe, the concept of sin presupposes the existence of a Deity, leaving to those who do not acknowledge a Deity only human made law.
But, of course, I'm just another hidebound apologist for the concepts underlying "Western Civilization" - that body of learning gleaned though thousands of years and passed down to us by anonymous monastics in inhospitable scriptoria though centuries of pagan assault.
Sorry to vent - We're in a World turned upside down - I can't believe how bad things have gotten since the time of my youth.
We need to find our way home, and that way is not through the dis-establishment of traditional matrimony; it is not through the banishment of our God from public discourse; and it is not through unilateral disarmament in the face of Islamist Terrorism, Russian resurgence, or the emergence of China as a major military power.
I categorically reject this option! Have at them, and if we fall, we fall in battle having fought the Good Fight!
"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
