"Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other 'sins' are invented nonsense." --Robert A. Heinlein

[streetpreacher]

Who is Robert A. Heinlein? What authority does he bring to the subject? On what foundation does his assertion rest? If it is just his opinion of right and wrong, then he is being morally relativistic. After all, who's to say that his definition is the right one? I could just as easily argue:

"Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily things that impede upon my own happiness. All other 'sins' are invented nonsense."

Just because murder is a sin to you doesn't mean it is to another.  And who wants to be the moral arbiter on "unnecessarily"?  What if I find it "necessary" to hurt others who "impede upon my own happiness"?  Who is Robert Heinlein to tell me I can't do that?  Who decides these moral questions?

Only One Being has the right to make a Universal Judgment on issues of sin and right and wrong and his name is not Robert Heinlein.
