    Sin is a transgression against a specific god. Your god is not the god of the majority of the Earth’s population, so no, they are not inherently sinful just because you have declared them so and your And I have read the New Testament. You read it. Especially John 3:18 where Jesus condemns anyone in the world who doesn’t worship him to eternal torture.

    He also says to follow all of the abhorrent Old Testament laws. That’s what the “not one jot or tittle” passage is about.

    Also, if you want to credit a school lunch program which is highly inadequate in feeding the most needy with Christianity, you’ll also have to credit the Holocaust, which was supported by a large number of German Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, who accepted the idea that their God wanted all the Jews dead.

    Christians are not peaceful. They never have been. That’s just a lie. You can’t both do violent things and be peaceful.

    I can’t wait for you to No True Scotsman away all of those Christians. I assume that will be your next step.

        Sin is sin and there is only one God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit.

        The vast majority of the world disagrees with you. You don’t get to push your ideas of sin on them.

        Also, I so called you’d go No True Scotsman.
