>>I just had this discussion on PfP-- where someone argued that it was not a sin of commission, but of omission. I strongly disagree.<<

Rambi -

A sin of omission? To make a person believe you are treating him for a deadly, communicable disease when you aren't? Just so you can gather medical data?

Wow. How does anyone with a shred of moral integrity support that viewpoint?

A sin of omission is passing by someone who needs your help, and they KNOW you passed them by. Pretending to help them, so they do not seek assistance elsewhere is the worst kind of sin of commission- it is so stealthy, that your victim may never discover the sin. It's a horribly compound sin of commission- one tangled up in a lie.
