Our legal and law enforcement systems make it everyone's collective business, thank goodness.IMHO what you do with your transgressions is your business. By the same token what others do with theirs is not.

If we could consider that to much consumption of anything can be a sin, then we can also consider how much of a certain consumption can be harmful. How do we know if the biblical laws, at the time they were written, were not based from a bacterial or contamination reasoning? ...and no one lifted them after that fact?Sure. The question was inspired by an answer to the OP in Religious rules on food - do you follow them?.
Yeah, I figured that, and I agree that stuff is nobody's business. But the serious stuff, yes, we have civil laws. There is some crossover.I was going with the sins part in a religious meaning, but you have a valid point except--the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution says it's not anyone's business.
You consider your sins everyone's business?Our legal and law enforcement systems make it everyone's collective business, thank goodness.
You realize this makes no sense?IMHO what you do with your transgressions is your business. By the same token what others do with theirs is not.
What is gods wrath? He can't do anything to you. What kind of hypocrite commits suicide for someone's sins but makes it immoral to commit suicide. Makes no sense. His wrath is mind control.Is there anything wrong from either a religious or moral standpoint with openly admitting wrongdoing or sin? Is there anything wrong with asking another to do so?

I will shun you to, sexual perverts should always be shunned by decent people.I've been shunned for having admitted that I purposely exposed myself in the men's restroom at a Bavarian department store restroom to some German lady who was a restroom attendant watching me in the mirror while I was relieving myself at a urinal. I've been shunned by some few members of RF for having admitted to being sexually abusive , despite this abuse having happened over 25 years ago, before I was married, and way before the me too movement.
I'm only talking about the 'sins' that break the laws of the country that you're in. Yes that is police business, which, in a democracy, is everyone's business. But all that other stuff that the Abrahamics consider sin (I don't believe in sin like that) it's nobody's business.You consider your sins everyone's business?
So you have no sense of moral at all?I'm only talking about the 'sins' that break the laws of the country that you're in. Yes that is police business, which, in a democracy, is everyone's business. But all that other stuff that the Abrahamics consider sin (I don't believe in sin like that) it's nobody's business.
Well then they need not be shunned by you.I will shun you to, sexual perverts should always be shunned by decent people.
In Hinduism, there are morals for sure, a ton of them. But it's considered stupidity (anava in Sanskrit) of the young soul. So just as a small child might utter his first curse word or pee in an inappropriate place, we tolerate it, and try to correct it. So the net effect is we see it in the light of understanding, not in the 'light' of hate.So you have no sense of moral at all?
