If you follow my rules, you are a good person. If you break my rules, you are a bad person. If you have stricter rules than me, you’re a prude who needs to lighten up. It’s so convenient. And so deluded. If our definition of sin is “doing bad things,” then we all agree that sin exists. People do bad things. Even if my definition of bad differs a bit from someone else’s, we still agree that rape is wrong. Genocide is evil. Racial discrimination is appalling.
