If I asked very nicely, would you answer the question?

Question

None of you have answered the actual question yet. I know what sin means to you etc. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuEuM9QRdoQ51MUrrqig74jd7BR.?qid=20070708073816AA6t4Kn

Please. Pretty please.

What would you think of a person who thought that "lusting after a pretty girl" was as bad as murdering a baby? Would you think a person with that kind of morality was insane? Evil? Would you admire them? What would you honestly think of them.

Thank you!

Might I add "Super pretty please with sugar on top!"

Answer 1

Of course murder is worse than lusting. Rape is worse than coveting. Before prefect God, sin is sin. The bible indicates that some sins are worse than others. Really bad ones are called abominations. There is indications in the bible that there is varying level of punishment. Fundies are not insane, just miquided. Did I really answer your ques? Probably not.

Answer 2

My perspective "lusting" after a pretty girl is a pretty normal reaction among straight males and lesbians, so I don't see it as a sin at all. It's what one does about that internal lusting that counts.

Murdering a baby is not the same as the mental wonderings about how good someone would be in bed, the murder of ANYONE is not a good thing. (I hope no one takes this to mean they understand my opinion about abortion, it isn't, that's a different can of worms)

If I were to be talking to someone who feel these things were of equal weight I would suggest that they have some really deep mental issues they need to work through, OUTSIDE of their religious community.

Answer 3

Oh what the hell, I'll give my honest opinion. I think these people are nuts, plain and simple.

First off, I don't believe in sin. I like the term "morality," it's a little more honest. Lusting after a pretty woman or a new car is nothing. What's wrong with having desires? That's really all that coveting is. I want a new vacuum cleaner (really) but it's gonna take a few months to afford one. Is that a sin, to desire an easier way to clean my floors? I laugh at the very idea of it.

Murder, rape, terrorism, robbery--those are some biggies. They change or take another's life, destroy entire families, cities, livelihoods. How the hell can you wanting a new car or me wanting clean floors even begin to compare?

Those who say that these are all equal in God's eyes are living in some strange fantasy world that I escaped once and no longer care to enter.

Answer 4

I would think that the person in question is about 5 cans short of a 6 pack. I would like to talk to them to find out why they think that but in the end I am still willing to be my conclusion would stay that they are insane.

Answer 5

Hello.. :)

First I want to say, I still Love and respect you (((Red Queen)))

But I am one of those foolish Christians..I forgive everyone, as Jesus forgave me..

See I used to be a child abuser, I could have killed my own child.. :( My heart is crying, just remembering this.. :(

I was not a good Mother at all, I was selfish and blamed my ex-husband for my wrong behavior (all because he would beat me up).. :(

I was a drug abuser..my drugs came before my family.. :(

I lusted after men, that were not my husband.. :(

I lied to get my own way, whether it hurt others or not.. :(

So how can I not forgive, those who are asking with a sincere heart and are crying out for help..

It took Love and forgiveness of Christ..to stop me from killing myself (I hated the way, I treated my sweet daughter).. :(

In the Lord's eyes a liar is liken unto a murderer..

All sin can be forgiven..accept blasphemy against the Holy Ghost..That sin cannot and will not be forgiven, in this world or the next.. :(


In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ.. :)

Answer 6

Eh, yes I would think of them as psycho. Never believed in Kantian ethics, and was always a follower of Utilitarianism.
And from a religious standpoint, I believe even Dante's "Divine Comedy" Mentions the various levels of hell from various sins.
Personally I have never met anyone who thought such a way. Sounds rather frightening.
Unless its in a good way, i.e, they forgive every sin and see all sins on the same level.

Answer 7

There is no such thing a "sin".

There are actions and re-actions, cause and effect, followed by responsibility and consequences.

Supposed "good" intention can lead to "bad" results and a "bad" inteniton might result in a "good" deed.

The confusion arises when one clings to his/her subjective few of how they think things should be instead of seeing what is as it is.

One's intentions speak of one's self and do harm or benefit to one's self, which benefits or harms all others as there is no true sepearateness. All are one.

Actions speak to the one how both did the action and to the one whom the action occurred towards, injuring or benfiting either, neither or one or the other, yet touching all and all things as there is no true separateness. All are one.

Each one is as that one is, doing what that one is doing in the present moment.

Too many minds (thinking of self, thinking of other, thinking of those watching, those reading, those answering, those not answering...Too many minds.)

No mind, no judgement. Be here now, present moment.

Breathe, relax, quiet our mind.

May it all be well with you.

Answer 8

appropriate to the comparable i assume, if it truly is in basic terms posting a stupid Q or A. yet asking is greater complicated in case you opt to go with the excellent answer. I in basic terms refer to P/S. ( in different categories, answering could be harder, as you're able to understand the respond, or examine an argument)

Answer 9

Sin is non-existent to me. I don't believe there is some all powerful Creator sitting up there judging us, just waiting to throw the hammer down or wait us out to send us to eternal torment. It's a device used to control the masses and put people on a guilt trip. I absolutely do not believe in it in any way, shape or form.

Answer 10

Any idiot that equates lusting after Wolverine and murdering a child is a complete moron and should be locked up in the nut house forever.
