Reply #59: It's a free country

[Zebedeo]

then it would indeed seem possible to game the system. Enjoy all your hedonistic pursuits, then go and confess and sincerely seek forgiveness

Those who have Christ living in their hearts have no desire to game the system. Nor do I believe it would be possible, because gaming the system would involve insincerity.

I'll take my atheistic humanistic moral system over that any day.

That's the beauty of living in a free country. You are free to believe, or not believe, as you wish. I am similarly free.

Although we seem to disagree on many issues, each of us, with our own individual, incompatible beliefs, can work to increase goodness and justice in the world.

Now that's cause for celebration. Here's hoping you and yours enjoy this wonderful season.:hi:
