Sin

Why do people sin? Basically, because everything that is not the "perfect" life is a sin. For example, everyone most, if not all, of the seven deadly sins. Those are all things that happen in everyday life. For example, being lazy, I do not know a single person that has not had a lazy moment. Every student puts off homework for things that seem more important at that moment. People sin because its impossible not to. Then, they are expected to say that they were wrong for doing something that everyone does and that most people do not apologize for. The Bible sets up unnatural standards for people to try to meet.

Run to Church?

Why when something does not go right do people run straight to religion? I do not understand this for the simple fact that when bad things happen people should blame the gods for punishing them. Not pamper them more by sending them praise and putting them on a higher stool. This is because the people that run straight to their religion are people who already let their religion control their every move. This should, by theory, make people question why their God is torturing them and making their life more difficult. This could potentially make them question if there is a God and if he loved them so much why he would do this to them.

As I was reading the section on the Bible this past week, the question kept popping up that if we are a little bit of god and that we are perfect in his eyes why is homosexuality frown upon? This just does not make sense to be because in the Bible it never says anything wrong with two men loving each other. It just says that there is with something wrong with intercourse between two men because that is used to reproduce. So then why is it frowned upon because it is defying a social norm. It must just be easier to say "Oh yeah, about that yeah, God would not like that" rather than just accepting everyone for who they are. Also, God should not have a problem with it for the simple fact that he makes us the way we are and we are "perfect" in his eyes.
