The thread about Christianity and being "worthy" led to a discussion about sin and forgiveness.
I don't think we need any forgiveness for "sin" except maybe from those we have harmed. Sin is a nebulous thing, who decides what sin is? Certainly, the Bible doesn't have a concise description, nor does any church that I'm aware of. One church says something is a sin, and another disagrees.
Who is to determine that I've sinned? If there's a God, then how is He supposed to tell me I've sinned and that I should repent. Clearly the LDS GA's are full of shit and cannot be trusted. Why should I trust anyone else about that? I think it's up to those around me to let me know I've harmed them, or it's up to me to notice how I treat others and makes adjustments. It's up to us as a society to teach each other how to treat one another.
Who appointed any of these religious people to teach us anything?
