Comment on It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore?
shaggyb@lemmy.world 1 week agoSin is defined is an act in defiance of god. There is no god to defy.
Your question presumes that harm can only come from sin. That presumption is nonsensical in the absence of a god.

How would you define harm if there’s no God?

And this is why religions are so dangerous and terrifying right here.
If you can’t answer that question on your own, you are frightening.

Wouldn’t I be more frightening without a religion? My people used to bash babies against rocks before the Christian missionaries arrived.

You, specifically, possibly. I don’t know you and I certainly don’t care who “your people” are. But if you rely on a sky fairy to tell you it’s bad to bludgeon children to death rather than having basic compassion to tell you, signs aren’t good for you. All you’d need is for a charismatic sociopath to tell you the magic cloud genie changed its mind and then it’s all of our brains bashed in. History has proven that.
