Original Sin?

Quote: FrGamble

The only answer is sin.

Uh Huh. (rolls eyes)

You have to have it to sell your product,
so of course it's what you'll always say.
You have no choice.

Circular discussions have no purpose and
no end. You have an agenda and I don't.
Let's move on.

Says the bored one. Lets move
on to something else. Mary
was no lifetime virgin.

I'm afraid you aren't getting off that easy. There are some unresolved questions. First of all a simple one; do you deny that in the world there is ample evidence of the reality of dishonesty, mistreatment of others, lying, violence, and death? Secondly, can you give any other answer besides Original Sin and its effects as to why we as human beings who know what is right and what we should do still do not do what is right and good?

There are some unresolved questions.

Not unresolved for me. You constantly
want me to explain how a concept that
doesn't exist in reality fits in with different
scenarios you have cooked up. Again, it's
on a par with asking me how fast a unicorn
can run when I've explained that unicorns
don't exist. Every question you have about
sin is moot, it's a waste of time. Next you'll
ask do unicorns sleep standing or laying
down, and you'll be puzzled that I have
no answer.

I'm not asking about unicorns, I'm asking about suffering. Are you oblivious to it or do you just not care?

You want me to link it to a concept that
has meaning to me. There is no god, so
there can be no sin against a god that
doesn't exist. You are very much asking
about unicorns. Every time I say sin
doesn't exist, you try and wrap a scenario
around it like it's real. Sin and
unicorns both exist with Dorothy on the
other side of the rainbow. Please don't
ask me what color the flowers are there.

Arguing with you is like going over the rainbow or more like going down the rabbit hole because you are the mad hatter.

There is no argument. God and sin don't
exist and you have not made a good case
for either. Going round and round about it
forever is pointless. Just stick with faith, it's
all you have to cling to.

In my experience when someone refuses to answer any questions, shuts down, and wants to go it is a sign that a good case has been made and they are just not willing, able, or ready to accept it. It's okay, I understand.
