I had a hella post written on this a couple of days ago, but accidently signed of my computer, and now I can't remember what I had written. Oh well, I'll take a shot on a few things. *scratches head*

So you're basically saying that people who don't believe in sin are devoid of morals. Many people don't think in terms of what is a sin and what isn't. I know many people who were raised in religous households are shocked to hear this, but just because they don't believe in God does not make them bad people!
When you teach a small child right from wrong, most people don't try to use religion in it. A child shouldn't touch a stove because it will hurt them. He shouldn't hit people because it will hurt their feelings. Thus a child learns fundamentaly right from wrong. Most People who don't believe in God, still learn what is right or wrong from their parents. Yes, things that are against the law are usually considered wrong. But mostly common sense things.
I think its ridiculous to go around to people in the first place and say "This is a sin and this isn't" "you are a sinner". I 'm sorry but don't say that crap to me. Yes I'm a Christian ,a nd I believe in the concept of sin.But I also believe that only God gets to judge, so stop with this pointing of the fingers of "You sin repent!" Do you honestly think people are going to like you or your religion when you throw that crap in their face???!!
Also I got a little confused on the point of how God doesn't change his laws, but yet he changed it to where incest was forbidden. Isn't that changing something? I may be a simple country girl but it sounds like it.
My opinion on the bible is this-its a tool to bring us closer to God. People take it wayyyyyyyy to literally and basically use it to get that three year old tattle teller feeling of-
'YOU SINNED I'm TELLING!! You're going to HE-LLLLL!!! its annoying to see people do that, I wish it would stop.You have your beliefs, I have mine, don't try to tell me what to do or what to believe in, because I can assure you that it doesn't impress me at all.
