    Exclamation Sin and Confession

    are they the conflict or the basis of religion?
    In other word
    Does religion only exists because of the idea of Sin ?

    Cacian,
    You strike my funny-bone. You’re a living paradox. There is no resolution.
    In another post which I commented on, you said a world without religion would be best.
    Okay fine. So why do you question religion? Can anyone possibly appease you? Can anyone on this planet possibly turn you toward God? Or is nit-picking religious people a past-time of yours?
    As a Christian, I don’t question why people conduct satanic rituals or practice witchcraft or are atheists.
    Because, in a nutshell: I really don’t care.
    As per your question:
    If I sin, I need God’s forgiveness.
    If I never sin, I need God’s Salvation.
    God begats religion. For a more a thorough answer, I recommend The Holy Bible, the Quran or some other Good Book that is super highly popular.
    But we’re cool, right?

    You're definitely missing Cacian's point.

    Hi Bad Grass
    I really I am not nit-picking but merely reflecting on why religion is dated with all due respect to you.
    I am absolutely not trying to put any religious person down, their beliefs or gods for that matter.
    I simply think there is a big difference between believing in god and religion.
    I see them as two very distinctive concepts.
    The thread is simply to put forward a question to test if whoever created this notion of religion, which is en effect a coming together of a large number of people to worship a being that might or might not like ot be worshipped in this way, to justify these heavy duty concepts I stated above.
    Who is to tell that god wants us all to go to mass and mosques or confessions and so on?
    And who says that sin is part of this worship and we are to behave ourselves in a certain way. It feels to me a kind of a dictaroship, a goddly heavy handed institution that scares a lot of people believe or not.
    If we know that god is a perfect being then he/she do not expect us to be perfect to and so we are bound to make mistakes or sin for whatever reason.
    In other word it is expected of us to fail sometimes.
    why make sin and hell part of a religious duty that lots practice but are terrified of.
    Who says hell exists and why salvation?
    What are we saved from ? ourselves? God?
    I mean I can go on couldn't I...

    Sin has always been a violation of a rule which in another culture was not sin. Confession has always been a promise to not repeat the sin in exchange for mercy from authority.
    OR
    To kill the mystery is the cardinal sin.

    I'd rather live without excuse than beg forgiveness.

    He who is never caught is innocent.

    Guilt leads to repentance. If what you say is true.

    I feel true guilt for only one sin. It was a test of God, he failed.
