What is it about this word that upsets people, some of them to the point where they nearly need an oxygen tank? Does it upset you to talk about sin? What is your definition of sin? Will the American Civil Liberties Union attempt to boycott the use of this word in public places, too, just like works on some of its other projects? What do you think? C'mon now. I KNOW you've got an opinion. What is it? Tell me . . .

(GE, this country has gone way over the edge in trying to not offend anyone. It's an impossible task, although I do agree that we should be considerate of each other.)
The word "sin" is not fashionable anymore. Sin is simply doing something you know to be wrong, and we ALL sin. Even Mother Theresa considered herself a sinner. If you're a "good person", you do your best not to repeat it.
I don't like to be preached to, especially about religion, and I don't go to church any more, but I still hold to almost all of the beliefs I learned as a child. I'm just trying to get through life causing the least amount of hurt possible.
