+758 There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft....When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness (the kite runner) amirite?

You are stealing your body's right to be treated like a temple.

Sigh, you just can't let anyone have anything, can you? Your body. Your BODY. You're stealing its pureness. You're NOT STEALING YOUR BODY. You're stealing your body's PURENESS, not your body itself.

Well, you are your body. So you can't steal something from yourself.

What if you have a split personality, and your other personality steals something from the other one? Then, *technically* you can steal something from yourself.

So what does being gay steal?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It steals the privilage of a not perverted world from the little children.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Gay isn't perverted. You could say, it steals potential lives since they rarely reproduce.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes, it is. It is a perversion of the natural order of baby making.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Does that mean being infertile is a sin?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If being gay is perverted, than so is being straight..

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That's not even logical. Being gay is a perversion of the natural order of marriage.

From _The Kite Runner_, by Khaled Hosseini. A novel worth reading for mature readers.

"Sloth" steals time that has the potential to be put to work. "Vainity" steals the spotlight from others. "Thief" steals your opponent's held item occasionally. "Steelix": the Iron Snake pokemon and the evolved form of Onix; Its body has been compressed deep underground. As a result, it is even harder than a diamond. "usernames" steal another person's attempt at originality. "corn" is delicious to some? Consuming food steals another person's chance at nourishment. One spermatozoan steals another's chance at fertilizing an egg... Anything and everything can be considered any form of sin if analyzed enough. You could say pride is the root of all sin. Obviously if you feel you have the right to steal, you put your needs before the needs of others, which means you find yourself superior to others. Even saying you steal from some people for other people, you only do so for the self-gratification, even if on some subliminal level. Stop stealing our time with your prideful post.

Amazing book...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I wouldn't say it's the ONLY sin. You could be worshiping other gods. Or blaspheme against God, or take His name in vain. There are tons of other sins. It's not just the 10 commandments that you can sin against.

I seriously loved this book, and I thought this quote was pretty true.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

People can choose to get their tubes tied or have a hysterectomy or vasectomy. What about contraception, is that a perversion of the natural order of making babies? Everyone has sexual urges, Gay people can't help that theirs are for the same sex.

You dumbfucks need to realize that your body IS you.... you can't steal from yourself. And God doesn't exist.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I used to believe that too. And then I realized that there has to be a bigger picture and that there was no way everything could just be some product of a chance explosion that created this complicated and incredible universe.

Out of curiosity, are you justifying God's existence based on your ignorance of the creation of the universe?

You guys are getting a little too worked up. Of course you won't go to he'll for getting a tattoo. As long as you've accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior. And it's better to say that there is only one sin and that is not loving thy neighbor as yourself. Some where in 2 Peter (I think chapter 4) it says something like 'Love others for love conquers a multitude of sin'. :)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Uh, no. That is one of the two commandments Jesus says. There are still a multitude of sins. Edit: Though He does say if you follow those two commandments (Love God and love people) Then you won't commit other sins.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

There is only one sin, only one. And that is breaking the only commandment. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.

I've always heard the only sin is selfishness. and really, everything else can be boiled down to that.

The only sin is theft, devil's work is to steal n on the first Sin he caused man to steal the forbidden fruit. 1st sin in bible is stealing;- taking what was not theirs to eat with explicit instructions not to eat. from then did all other sins flow.
