Guess it depends on how forgiving you are towards you and your own behaviour. Seems to me that, whether or not you forgive the sin in yourself, it's still a sin. So I don't see what forgiveness has to do with it. How fundamentalist you take your views. That seems more on target to me. Wiki is somewhat helpful in this matter. "Sin is a term used mainly in a religious context to describe an act that violates a moral code of conduct or the state of having committed such a violation. In monotheistic religions, the code of conduct is determined by God. " Of course, God didn't actually provide a list so we're left with the leadership of various religions to determine what God presumably determined was a sin. I don't suppose you can refer me to some concise yet comprehensive layout of sins as determined by someone you would respect as the determiner or the collector of others' determinations. I'm familiar with the Ten Commandments and the Seven Deadly Sins, of course. Each is concise but neither is comprehensive. There probably isn't any such thing, that's what makes religion so complicated, but I thought I'd ask. OK, not wanting to commit the sin of slothfulness (g), I googled "sin list" and was amazed I actually found one. What do you think of it? wogim.org And then there was this: greenspun.com I also found a "sin list" for Satanists. I won't post it. <g>
