Shouldn’t he know already? Like one of those psychics. How do they stay in business?
I mean in fairness it is Saturday. He’s probably phoning it in today so he can watch YouTube on the toilet.
Got sucked off in a church once. Wasn't smitten.
Also: it was (luckily) by my gf, not the priest.
I've participated in multiple abortions.
Weird how I haven't burst in flames yet.
Abortions aren't sins! The Bible even explains how to perform one.
yeah but to know what sins actually are you gotta read the bible, and ain't no christian got time for that! Easier to just let Fox tell us what our religion says is good or bad.
Have you thought about using your invulnerability to fire for fighting crime?
I'm imagining you've been the father, the mother and the doctor in these events that you have participated in.
None of the above: I'm a surgical tech, my role is to get the instruments, supplies, and equipment needed for a surgery; establish sterile fields and get those instruments etc on them in a sterile way; facilitate the actual surgery by making sure the surgeon never has idle hands (we have to know the surgeries well enough to anticipate what instrument the surgeon will want in each step), and get the room turned over for the next case.
It's a cool job, but the pay's kinda shit, so I don't recommend it as anything other than a stepping stone to something like nursing, which is what I'm currently working toward.

It’s not sinning if you ain’t religious
During covid, I had one teensy moment of not being careful with myself, and I think I spread the virus. Down the line, I'm told someone died from it. I consider myself a woman of faith, and to this day, the idea I caused a death still terrifies me.
I'm gay and Atheist, so pretty pretty much just existing according to some.

Definitely the time I puked all over a homeless guy on the Red Line and then just... got off the train. I was very drunk, but that's no excuse.
Respect for givinf a real answer
Gross, yet probably not unusual for the Red line.
Sin isn't real. Live your life however you want without being a dick to others
without being a dick to others
Well there you go, you've just defined sin(lessness)
Not everyone has the same definition though - but if you're coming from a Christian-influenced culture, that's not far off the core meaning of sin in Christianity, just with an added "easier said than done"
Sin - a deed that sky fairy says is bad and you must jump through this sky fairy’s follwers’ hoops to divest yourself of it to remain in their and sky fairy’s favor. If you don’t, you don’t get to go to sky fairy’s happy place when you die.
Being a dick - no sky fairy involved. You’re just being a dick and need to make amends if you don’t want to be perceived as a dick, or just carry on being one. No divine retribution, no hoops to jump through for Elysium.

In some Christianity. Many define it in terms of disobeying God, which can conflict pretty badly with the not-being-a-dick thing depending on interpretation

I thought for myself, and became atheist.
I wear mixed fabrics.
Daily.
"Aw, hell, I'm a fan of all seven."
I see you aim to misbehave
Do we have a c/UnexpectedFirefly yet?
A lot of sexual stuff mainly.
what i meant by sin was the most evil act , (like someone said puking on homeless person) , but i am still satisfied with the answers that you gave me about how being a atheist is considered the greatest sin , i didnt expected atheism to be such a huge sin in religion but i guess i was wrong.
you didn’t expect the complete denial of religion for oneself being a sin of following a religion??? the whole point of following a religion is following that religion. not following it is in large part a sin. of course there are exceptions, but if we are speaking about judaic religions (the most common use of the word sin), literally not following the religion is a sin.
Being bi. Also an atheist
Do you mean greatest as in most grievous or greatest as in most awesome?
