Shouldn’t he know already? Like one of those psychics. How do they stay in business?

I mean in fairness it is Saturday. He’s probably phoning it in today so he can watch YouTube on the toilet.

Got sucked off in a church once. Wasn't smitten.

Also: it was (luckily) by my gf, not the priest.

I've participated in multiple abortions.

Weird how I haven't burst in flames yet.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Abortions aren't sins! The Bible even explains how to perform one.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

yeah but to know what sins actually are you gotta read the bible, and ain't no christian got time for that! Easier to just let Fox tell us what our religion says is good or bad.

Have you thought about using your invulnerability to fire for fighting crime?

I'm imagining you've been the father, the mother and the doctor in these events that you have participated in.

None of the above: I'm a surgical tech, my role is to get the instruments, supplies, and equipment needed for a surgery; establish sterile fields and get those instruments etc on them in a sterile way; facilitate the actual surgery by making sure the surgeon never has idle hands (we have to know the surgeries well enough to anticipate what instrument the surgeon will want in each step), and get the room turned over for the next case.

It's a cool job, but the pay's kinda shit, so I don't recommend it as anything other than a stepping stone to something like nursing, which is what I'm currently working toward.

It’s not sinning if you ain’t religious

During covid, I had one teensy moment of not being careful with myself, and I think I spread the virus. Down the line, I'm told someone died from it. I consider myself a woman of faith, and to this day, the idea I caused a death still terrifies me.

I'm gay and Atheist, so pretty pretty much just existing according to some.

Definitely the time I puked all over a homeless guy on the Red Line and then just... got off the train. I was very drunk, but that's no excuse.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Respect for givinf a real answer

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Gross, yet probably not unusual for the Red line.

Sin isn't real. Live your life however you want without being a dick to others

Probably all the gasoline I’ve burned.

I thought for myself, and became atheist.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Being a christian

ETA: I've since repented of that. I'm still trying to amend for my time in that backwards cult.

A lot of sexual stuff mainly.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

what i meant by sin was the most evil act , (like someone said puking on homeless person) , but i am still satisfied with the answers that you gave me about how being a atheist is considered the greatest sin , i didnt expected atheism to be such a huge sin in religion but i guess i was wrong.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

you didn’t expect the complete denial of religion for oneself being a sin of following a religion??? the whole point of following a religion is following that religion. not following it is in large part a sin. of course there are exceptions, but if we are speaking about judaic religions (the most common use of the word sin), literally not following the religion is a sin.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Being bi. Also an atheist
