Which is the bigger sin, atheism or bisexuality?

Question

Jack is just curious.

And yes, I'm an atheist and bisexual.

Note to Shekassa:

Bisexual does not mean having both sets of sex organs. You're thinking of a hermaphrodite. I am a male, with only male parts. Bisexual means that you are attracted to both sexes. If you want to sleep with both men and women, then you would be considered bisexual.

Answer 1

None of the above. If you look at the origonal word root of "sin" (a word that has lost it's true meaning over time), it comes from a Greek archery term, meaning missing the mark, or not quite on target. A guy in the games would shoot his arrow, and if it missed the bullseye, a judge would call out "sin!"

We have all missed the mark Jack, everyone, myself included. We all miss it, everyday, no matter what your religion or non-religion. We are all in the same boat. It appears to me alot of the time that we are all imperfect people, demanding perfection from everyone around us. It's just not going to happen.

Paul the apostle even listed a list of "the worst sins", and I have seen it quoted as a referrence as to who can and cannot enter heaven. I often wonder why murder is not on that list (Paul was a self-cofessed muderer). He called himself "The chief of sinners", yet he claimed to be forgiven. He even claimed that he could not stop sinning, no matter how much he wanted to.

Sounds like you, Paul, and I are in the same boat with everyone else. If anyone ever tells you that they are not in the same boat with us, they are liars.

Jack, if you ever have a medical question, go see a good doctor. If you ever have a legal question, get a good attorney. If you ever have a religious question, ask a credible religious teacher.

To quote the source, "If you have broken one of these laws, you have broken them all." No lists here. And Jesus gave more greif to the list makers than to any other group of people. As a matter of fact, I would argue that He hung out and was friends with the worst "sinners" there were in His society. You could even argue that it was the religious and their current legal system that he came to abolish.

Enough said.

And to finally answer your question, your biggest sin is the fact that you did not answer my questions on Gustav Klimt and George Grosz in the arts/painting category (just kidding).

Answer 2

Neither are morally wrong. I reject the concept of sin because it is centered in one religion and its backward world view.

One easy way to determine if it a concept is morally sound in a free, secular society:


Does the behavior violate the personal freedom of another human being?

Is it dishonest or deceptive?

Atheism and bisexuality do not. I'd say both are fine, and it's none of my business what someone does or believes, so long as they do not harm anyone else. But I would have to say that bisexuality is probably more fun than atheism.

Answer 3

Size doesn't matter!

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

People will be convicted of sin ultimately because they do not believe in Jesus Christ.

All sin results in a death penalty; small and large.

Answer 4

A sin is a sin, God does not "rate" sin. but both will be in for a rude awaking. (buy the way) being bisexual is not a sin, the act of homosexuality is.

Answer 5

All sin is bad and both of these are serious sins and separate us from God but Atheism would be worse.

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church -
2140 Since it rejects or denies the existence of God, atheism is a sin against the first commandment.

Answer 6

i guess atheism

it is not a sin to have both male and female parts I mean they can't help it!

why do people keep talking about the bisexuals?

if you were born with both parts what could you do?

Answer 7

Well neither is breaking the 10 comandments..... but
If you are bixsexual and an atheist then I guess it won't matter will it?
If you are godley and bisexual then it's up to God when you pass on not us anyway so who am I to judge.

Answer 8

Hands down, it's athiesm.

God considers it a greater sin to have heard the word and deny it's existance, or his.

Bi-sexuality isn't even a sin that's listed in the bible. By the same token, neither is homosexuality. The big problem with Male Homosexuality is the manner in which they have sex.

In my opinion, the creator never meant for anything to be rammed up the out chute.

Answer 9

There is no such thing as a bigger sin, God sees every sin as just as bad.

Answer 10

Sin is sin, one is not worse than another except for blasphemy of the Holy Ghost which is unforgivable.
