Is sin an imaginary affront to an imaginary being or just an outdated concept?

Answer 1

Both.

Answer 2

Whatever the situation, sin is not imaginary. The definition of sin may hv some wavering translation, be misunderstood and have a misrepresented meaning.

Breaking the law, causing harm to others, etc is not an outdated concept.

Answer 3

Sin is as real as the god you are.
I called you a "god" because you have the power to do good and bad. But that doesn't mean that there is no God, it simply means that you got to accept that there is an authority bigger than life for life to make any meaning.
Whether you believe it or not, there is sunlight, there is day and night, people die and people are born. So there is an evidence of God, otherwise tell me why you die?

Answer 4

you just basically asked if it is wrong or is it is wrong. you didnt even allow for the possiblity of it being true.

open your mind! you think Child Molesters arent doing wrong? you think killers and rapists arent sinning?

Sin literally means "missing the mark". so if you do something that doesnt live up to moral living standards, you have just "missed the mark" and that is sin.

Answer 5

Maybe neither.

Sin is breaking a covenant you have with a god. How can you make a covenant with a god that is imaginary? He (or She) has got to be there to have such a thing.

Answer 6

Talk about a loaded question. Is there no third option there?

Answer 7

Have you stopped beating your wife, or have you started beating your kids?

Answer 8

I choose option 3. That it is exactly what the bible calls it. Thank you, have a nice day. :)
