Fornication or Sine or Sin A good example is fornication. How many of you have fornicated ? Fornication is obviously a popular activity among people. Fornication is tied to the survival of the gene pool, this is science, not religion. Consider it scientific fornication. It does not require any belief system or absolute truth to try out fornication. Humans tend to fornicate often. Children fornicate and should be protected from the very real dangers of fornication. People fornicate indiscriminately with little regard to skin color, belief system, sex, hair color, eye shape, diseases or age. It is not sinful to fornicate because sin has no place in science, none, sine yes, sin no. Only one thing has an effect on how people fornicate, that is what they are taught about who they are. Such teachings have to be correct from a scientific and realistic viewpoint. If you live in certain places, you learn to dodge bullets or you die. You do not need to seek out help if you fornicate, it is an expected side effect of being a homo sapiens . If you are a <religious person > and you have trouble with distinguishing between the word fornication and the sin fornication then you likely have a problem. Religious beliefs are not science, they are predicated upon absolute truths. This does no mean they cannot be true, it does mean that they have to be flexible. The best absolute truth I have found are the absolute truths that I believe in, until something better comes along, I will continue to believe as I do. Science is fact, not sin, period. Do not clutter your mind with any religious belief which disallows facts, your children will suffer because of your ignorance.
