I'm all for matter. I love a bit of matter. I believe in matter as matter is something we can quantify or at least predict if it isn't quite there. I'm a big fan of matter and I am all for people being told that matter exists.

I think the flesh and my mind are what they are. The flesh will age, the thoughts will ebb and flow and one day it will end, and I don't believe in anything more. I don't mind that in the slightest though. It's a good thing in some ways as assuming that it is finite means that you have to make do with what you have and do what you can with it. Nobody has a right to make false claims on immortality, it is selfish to even assume it.

I also take issue with the notion of sin. Sin assumes that God has been granted the right to decide what is right and wrong and I find that repugnant. If there is next to zero evidence of the existence of God, then clearly God can not be defining what a sin is. A sin is then merely the judgement of a bunch of men posing as the spokepeople of God. Following obvious logic, that is then nothing to do with sin.

I think we are raised in society and from teachings and experience largely develop our sense of morality. At 3 children are punching each other in the face and pulling hair. Most of us grow out of this through education, parenting and eventual legal protection. Homosexuality is a sin in The Bible, it was illegal until the 1960's in the UK. Now for 2000 years homosexuality was supposedly a sin, for significant stretches of time also illegal, but today few would argue that it is a sin, immoral, or criminal.

People have a general sense of right and wrong and though sexuality is innate, how you treat those people is dictated through societal norms. I suppose if there is a God, then he will have to admit that he was horribly primitive and that mankind today has gone far beyond any wisdom he ever ever had (only in some ways though). God like notions of sin and the accompanying death by stoning only occur in the most savage countries today.

I suppose what I am saying is that God has nothing to do with right and wrong. It is a human judgement and nothing to do with anything else.
