Another One.... because it's not going to go away...

For those whom this causes discomfort, consider; WHY, exactly, does it cause that discomfort? Examine those motives closely and only /as they apply to you/. Those motives apply to you. Only you. Not me, not your parents, certainly not the Greater World At Large.
The concept of Sin is in the eye of the beholder (as, in fact, is the concept of God/Goddess, One True Way, Heaven/Hell, Miracle/Magic/k, and a multitude of other things). You are entitled to your concept. I am entitled to disagree -- or agree... but you'll never really know which, because it is against my Better Nature (and my Religion) to go stuffing my beliefs down anyone elses' throat.
These men and women as well as hundreds of thousands of men, women and children pay a high price for Freedom. Freedom of Thought, Expression, Religion... even your right to spew inflammatory vitriol even though they don't agree. The price is paid in blood,, tears, smoke, screams, families, livelihoods and lives destroyed, nightmares for the rest of their lives, the impulse to hit the ground whenever they hear a door slam or a car alarm, the inability to hold a job with others... How's your balance in the First Bank of Freedom/(Karma/Blood)?
The one thing I present as a TRUTH; They have paid up front a high price for Freedom and are entitled to choose any flavor that suits them. How about you? Have you paid your blood price or are you piunking down a credit chit issued based on the 'full faith and credit' of someone elses' blood? You do understand that while you may present that card, any establishment is entitled to decline it or invite you to take your business elsewhere, correct?
FULL FAIRNESS DISCLAIMER; As far as I know, I am not acquainted with the "God" identified as OP.

Sharing does mean you are capable of critical thinking and agree that other people are entitled to do likewise if they so choose.
