If one loves sin more than one loves oneself, the easiest way to get rid of guilt is to lose the concept of sin.

The problem is that we all know right from wrong, it is innate to our beings.

Multiple religions discuss sin and our need to flee from it. But only Christianity offers a means to be forgiven from sin, with a sacrifice paid for our souls.

Man as a whole has rejected that sacrifice but the desire to be free from sin remains.

There is no rest for the wicked.

Say what? Western civilization (through Christian principles) teaches us "right from wrong", Jared Loughner obviously hated the principles that Christianity teaches.

As it should. If you implying that the desire to stop sinning is wrong?

I don’t know if this guy was an atheist or not. But I was thinking about this this morning. When one has no belief in God, is one in danger of developing a God complex? Do liberals in general have a God complex or just a superiority complex?
