Quote# 34471

[discussing whether it is possible for babies to sin]

Take a shiny object and wave it in front of a baby and as sure as the sun comes up, he'll reach for it.

Now, take it away from him and watch what happens. He'll pitch a fit because he wants that object.

That's coveting, which is a sin.

Septic Sceptic

Oddly enough, MickMcK lists "sailing" as one of his interests. Now how does somebody save up and purchase something as expensive as a boat without coveting it? Surely the very act of owning one is evidence of desiring it at one time.

Jesus is watching you Mike, and he's not happy. You'll have to rid yourself of this vile evidence of materialism to be forgiven. To paraphrase a bible verse:

If thine eye offends thee, pluck it out; if thy yachts should cause thee to sin, sell it dirt cheap to a ruggedly handsome atheist called Septic Sceptic.

Isn't it standard christian doctrine to declare that all humans are sinful? Sure, some try to sugar coat it with the nonbiblical concept of "age of accountability" because they just can't admit that the notion of a loving god condemning average, everyday people to eternal torture is dusgusting, but the belief that humans are bad just for being human and therefore need to be "saved" is the very root of christianity and that implies a belief that we all came into the world as sinners. Fundies are just not good at hiding this horrendous belief behind more elegant sounding rationales as the more mainstream apologists do. Of course, the OP is an idiot but he's just being true to his idiocy.

So the whole original sin goes to those that are too innocent to know what is going on?

"So human nature is a sin, and absolution is only through your faith? That's a brilliant scam; I'll grant you that much."

Christianity is a scam, that's the only reason sexuality is a sin. Can you give me one other reason as to why it would be?

If that's a sin, I'd hate to see what you assholes would do when the baby touches its "pee pee".

So if I put a plastic bag over your head, and you panic and struggle, then you're coveting air?

And how many Good Christians covet. Look at your leaders, all they do is beg money from you assholes. And your stupid enough to give it to them.

Please take Paul's advice and cut your dick off, you're too stupid to breed.

Scarily enough, I've seen this horrible line of thought before.

What is wrong with these people?

The disgusting idea that infants sin survives in Freudian

Here what coveting means .to desire something that belong to another and unobtainable by you ..
Like a your brothers family .or his job . it synonymous with desire and envy.
I hadly think teasing a baby and makng that baby cry is a from of coveting .
What you are doing is called teasing and that is to tantalize especially by arousing desire or curiosity often without intending to satisfy it.

Ok, in that case, I understand why Jesus said "we all are sinners"(not to mention the lack of volition and free will on the part of the baby)

Yes, because a baby can fully understand the very concept of 'sin', can't it? Moron.

No you asshole, that is teasing a baby, and of course it would cry. Babies don't have the brain capacity for deceit or coveting anything.

The Western capitalist system is based on coveting. I take it you're one of the very few Americans who vote for the Communist Party?
