I would be obedient to someone whom I felt had more knowledge about a situation than me, and whom I trusted, but I probably would not swear blind obedience to someone for no reason or permanently.

questioning for the sake of questioning...

relentless and persistent distrust or need for 'proof' before believing or accepting anything,,,


it happens alot in the religion thread, people like to keep debate going just for the sake of debating and trying to ridicule others

I call that BLIND QUESTIONING, questions that can never really have an 'answer' that always cause another 'question' as clarification,,,

Those are not really questions.

I think that kind of questioning is not questioning at all, it is simply a challenge. They ask for proof because they know you can't produce it.

The goal is basically to silence you because they are annoyed with your claims. They don't believe them and never will.

thats how I view what some call 'blind' obedience when they mean that the person has no motive besides obedience itself

obedience can stem from respect, trust, love, or many other things which keep it from being of the 'blind' variety

just like questions from sincere curiousity or which are motivated by a sincere interest or quest for knowledge and experience, are never BLIND

questions just to belittle which dont truly seek any knowledge or understanding are of the 'blind' variety IMHO

The kind of questions I don't like are the kind a therapist might ask. They are questions that the person asking already thinks they know the correct answer to and they are just trying to get you to think or challenge your belief about something. Example:

"What do you think you should have done?"

Other questions I hate are hypothetical questions, posed in the courtroom by a lawyer....


"What would you do if......"

what was the Q again?

Something despicable.

me and my history

Nicolainko god is well pleased for you repent.

.. the original sin.
...No1..phD...

hahaha jazzmaster comes in, and for his first post he raises from the dead this ancient thread.

lol.

sin
crime
wrongdoing

pick your semantics

there are laws and rules, in a country, in a city, in a family, in a community , and everywhere else

when one breaks those laws,,,,they are said to have committed an 'offense', a 'crime' , a 'wrongdoing', a 'sin,,,etc,,

the simplest answer is sin is crime or wrong doing in context of religious/God's rules and laws,



a rule or law that is broken,,,,,

hey cowboy , nice . I accept what U said . but people are saying Sin is just bulshitt its only a religious context .
well I don't believe in God but do believe in Sin ( people intentionally doing wrong things ) and there must be a list of the Sins

sin deals with a man soul and spirit. sin is spiritual no religious.

It's whatever Society doesn't like!

Sin is based on intent......It is determined by the intention of our actions...toward others, toward nature, toward animals, toward our universe....Sin is based on intent.....

for Christians, this is one of the easier explanations I have read

Sin, then, is to transgress those boundaries God has set for us or to miss the target He set for us.

for non believers in God, the definition doesn't change but also probably does not matter to them personally,,,,
