[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you again. Very thoughtful.

I am an atheist, and I find the teachings of Jesus to have a great deal of value. [b]I just don't see any value in the concept of sin[/b]. In fact, I find the concept of sin to be antithetical to his teachings. Everything that is forbidden is redundant, as it is covered in the one positive tenant, to love your neighbor. I wonder if there is hope that modern Christianity will continue to shed the outdated literal interpretations that today only serve to prevent people from loving one another as Jesus taught.

I am intrigued by your choice of words here; would you please elaborate on this?

Surely you agree that sin/ evil/ whatever you want to call it does, objectively, exist in the world? And if so, isn't your statement sort of like saying "I just don't see any value in the concept of the color red, or the number eight." Just because you don't "believe" in them, doesn't mean they don't exist and influence many things around you -- even if you want to state that RED or EIGHT don't exist in your world![/quote]
