You raised the sin issue on this thread and wondered why it seemed an obsession. I happen to think it is a very important question and one that is not easily addressed in one line sound bites. My post attempted to put your post, questioning the position of sin on the issue, in perspective with the Word of God.
And, in any case, much of the debate here stems from religion and many conservatives see our country's success as being a blessing from God because of its inhabitants desire to be obedient to God. It is not possible to fully separate politics from conservatism. But you should know that if you have been here a while.
Oh??? Where precisely did I use the word sin? Or bring up the issue of sin?
I have told you how I see the purpose of this site and it is NOT to study religion. You can choose to respect that or not depending on how you see yourself.
