The flip side to this coin is to ask the question; why do people impose the antiquated ideals of religion upon others in order to make them selves and/or their theism seem more important and/or better than those who do dont agree or share in said religion? Yes, there are specific universal laws which apply cross culture such as dont kill another person without just cause, dont steal from others, etc... However to cast these basic, universal, secular dogmas as some sort of spiritual decree... Well that is when we get into trouble and start doing things like burning witces and bombing abortion clinics.
First of all, who is to say what is a sin. Some people say that sex before marriage is a sin. Human beings are sexual creatures so why is it a sin to have sex. There are people who say that killing is a sin, why can someone kill a person and go to jail for it,then someone kills say an animal just for fun, or hits a dog and keeps driving it is ok. This sin thing kind of has a double standard to it. So why do we justify sin?, because nobody really knows what a sin is so there has to be some justification to bad decisions that people make.
So they don't impose guilty feelings upon themselves. But most of all, people justify it so they can continue doing whatever it is they're doing. Some also justify it because the word of god explains that we "are sin" ... Our flesh, our humanity in itself is sin.
Because they are weak spirits ,that are caught up in the ways of the world. If it doesn't benefit them, then they have no problems sleeping at night...
Well I don't justify sin, I justify my lifestyle. I am told that we are all sinners, there is not one of us that has not or does not sin. I will justify the way I live until the day I die. Not one other person in this world can judge me for how I live my life... They don't know, they will never live life the way I do, we are all different. Another thing, I hear so many religious people say that if you curse you go to hell... Blah blah blah. I can understand the GD and JC words, but other words like fk, & sht those words did not exist in the Jesus days. Shoot 50 years from now, society can make the word Fork into a curse word. I don't know, just many views from religious people are a joke.
