- Sin
- Repentance
- Forgiveness
- Holy
- Christian

Sin is a myth, repentance from what, forgiveness is compassion, holy is mystery, and Christian is following a controversial story, this is what all the above means to me, so as a catholic only two hold any merit for me and they are great mystery, and forgiveness.

- Sin... Things humans do that are enjoyable.
- Repentance... Feeling guilty and apologizing for doing something that comes naturally.
- Forgiveness... an idea based upon the misconception that people will let things go
- Holy... cow
- Christian... Ned Flanders

sin= self induced nonsense, repentence= pretending to be sorry so you can do the crime over and over agian, forgiveness= only works so many times before your patience wears thin, Holy=1.something full of flaws like the bible or 2.something spiritual like nature. christian= self righetous hypocrites making excuses about thier religion/relationship with Jesus.

Sin: Term used by so called Christians to define when people excercise their freewill.
Repentance: Term used by so called Christians to define when people are forced to convert to Christianity.
Forgiveness: Term used by so called Christians to define what is only available to them but nobody else.
Holy: Term used by so called Christians to define their relation to God, which cannot be achieved by anyone other than them.
Christian: A contradition to all of the above.

Sin - sends you to Hell
Repentance - saves you from Hell
Forgiveness - saves you from Hell
Holy - the way to be to avoid Hell
