Sin is Arbitrary Morality

What does it mean to sin? Why are some things sins if they harm no one? Does this mean that sin and immorality are not synonymous? Two sins come to mind that are involuntary and harm nobody; homosexuality and atheism. If you agree with me about this, why are you still worshiping the God that supposedly made these rules?

I love that, his vanity outweighs his empathy.... Good stuff, mang.

Very good arguments. Thumbed up!

I'd offer one point for consideration that goes to both the video title and the heart of the matter... morality in the context of sin is merely incidental.

Sin is something that displeases god. Thus to be sinless means to be obedient to god.
Morality (in my estimation) is doing what is right (or avoiding what's wrong) and requires knowledge of right and wrong AND making a choice between them.
Without a choice, morality is only incidental to obedience to god.

"His vanity outweighs his empathy." Whelp. Now I know why my 80 year old devout grandmother is terrified of looking old and frail!

Which Ten Commandments? Are we talking about those that were placed inside the Ark of the Covenant? The only ones that were carved into stone and not thrown to the ground as were the second set? If those are the morals, then reading the tenth one is a pretty solid ending:

The Ten Commandments.
1. For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

2. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

3. The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep.

4. All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every fristling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.

5. Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in the earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

6. and thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the fristfruits of wheat harvest, and the seast of ingathering at the year's end

7. Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel

8. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the feast of the Passover be left until the morning.

9. The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the Lord thy God.

10. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

And yes, these are truly the Ten Commandments, not those you learned in Bible school. Or maybe they did teach this in Bible school - I can't recall; I haven't been to Bible study for almost 30 years, and then I would mostly hide in the bathroom till they were done, but I did have to listen to the preacher, which I cannot recall being at all beneficial.

I would like to know where in the bible it says disbelief in god is unforgivable. if you could point me to the book and chapter of it, that would be really helpful. I have never heard of that before and it would really help if you could show me where to find it.
