Sin is a state of mind. Something is a sin only if you think it is. I mean if you follow a book that tells you what sin is. I mean I don't have to believe in God to lead a moral life. I don't believe in Killing or stealing or Lying..and Im an atheist.

It depends on your definition of sin. If sin is an offense against God, YHWH, I don't believe in that. YHWH exists in the Bible, but not elsewhere. He is a "god in a book". People have taken God and tried to define him with a book. Divinity is much greater than that.

Personally, I find "sin" to be that which interferes with spiritual progress, and it is as much an offense against self and others as divinity. What we fail at in this life, we need to revisit in a future one.

As far as standing before God, as a Pagan, that's not something new, or something that happens only once.

There is right and wrong, of course. There is no sin and there will be no judgment.

What do you think that I will go to hell because I sleep with my boyfriend and I am not married to him? What if I was gay, would God condemn me because I was born attracted to my same sex? How about if I married my boyfriend because I am divorced, should I go to hell for that? Adultery is one of the deadly's right!

Should a man like Gandhi go to hell because he believed different than your book says? How about John Kennedy, a Catholic, is he in hell because he was not saved and an adulterer?

Are you getting the picture of how absurd the whole concept is? I give God a hell of a lot more credit than you do, obviously!

I'm not Christian but of course there is still sin. Sin in my opinion is doing something wrong or "against the rules." The difference though is that the rules are a little different.

"...For no longer the hearers of the regulation are purely in the previous God, however the doers of the regulation would be justified. For while the Gentiles, that have not the regulation, do via nature the failings contained interior the regulation, those, having the regulation, are a regulation unto themselves which tutor the paintings of the regulation written of their hearts, their judgment of right and incorrect additionally bearing witness, and their ideas the advise whilst accusing in the different case excusing on yet another interior the day while God shall decide the secrets and methods of guys via Jesus Christ in accordance to my gospel."_Romans2:2-14 this would be a infrequently quoted scripture that addresses your challenge, head on. in case you examine it heavily you will detect a startling fact. God does no longer decide a guy or woman via what faith they have simply by fact this is obtrusive that some people "by no ability" actual are uncovered to the fact of Christ, this consists of people who've heard however the gospel became unwell provided. What God is announcing in result's he will understand if a guy or woman "would" obtain Christ if provided good. observe, that's some thing in basic terms God can be certain. the threat right this is that some people have heard and understand yet nevertheless actively reject God for his or her very own philosophy.

Sin is a concept that is only possible if there is a God. No God = No Sin.

I asked myself, and I answered, "I honestly don't believe in sin."

I do believe that somethings are harmful or helpful, and that ethical decisions should be based on those criteria, not something that reflected a desert culture 2000-4000 years ago.

And we are responsible for those decisions, not some non-existent deity that was made up to support the dominant paradigm of the day.

No I don't believe in "sin," sin is just what you Christians call bad things. I just call them bad.

It's just a violation of moral rule set up by religion. We don't have religions, no sins

God is imaginary. You can't sin against an imaginary god.

I'm not afraid of the Boogie Man either.
