Would you eliminate all sin and evil if you could?

Do you have to do evil to survive?

Everyone who has survived and thrived in our past, has done evil as well as good to survive.

Evil, like good, seems to be something that we must do.

Perhaps that is why some non-believers, as well as believers, say that sin is a happy human fault and necessary to both God and nature’s plan to keep us alive.

We all sin, apparently. I know I have. Some to my shame, and some proudly.

I see most people doing a lot more good than evil, but overall, is that bit of evil good for humans as well?

As I look at evolution, I see cooperation as the good, as no victim or loser is created.

When I look at competitions, I see a victim/loser to it, and that would be the small evil in the greater good of our continuing evolution.

Would you eliminate all sin it you could?

I would not.

Good people do good things and evil people do evil things. But it takes religion for good people to do evil things. The Bible is not a book of morality. The words "moral" and "morality" are not in there.

My adage is: If it’s not science, it’s superstition. Your book has magic based stories throughout. It reads just like mythology. Any prophecies made are fulfilled only in that book, no independent validations.

@BlueSkyKing We share much of the same thinking but I have to disagree on the value of the bible, in terms of value.

It, like nothing else that I read and tried to understand, is key to my morality.

That is why I am a Gnostic Christina and Christians hate my kind.

We call out Yahweh/Jesus out for the fucking evil demiurge he is.

Christians hate us because we call them out to discuss their moral tenets, and force them to run away, because they cannot do apologetics for them.

Inquisitor minds never can.
