I think that is a good way to look at it. Like the sale of Indulgences for example.

Partially. Many are just miserable. And looking for an 'out' with a promise of paradise.


I think sinning against another can only be really reconciled by ask for forgiveness by the one wronged. To make amends or to pay restitution.

The, I'll just confess on my 'deathbed' being a further show of the 'scape-goating' that occurs. Sin and be forgiven!

Does that lessen or change the ripple that was created by the sinful action in the first place?

No it does not.

Now I'm confused. Not confused but.....yeah I'm not ashamed, I'm confused. This has always confused me. They know it's a lie, they have to. It's a pacifier for their emotions. That's no way to live your life.

Short of being completely self hypnotized it would always be in the back of your mind. I always feel like a kid again when I admit I don't understand this. Ppl treat like you are just supposed to get it and at along. It bugs me.

I think that is the source of our 'skeletons' in the closet.

We can become 'Christians', ask for forgiveness, but the skeleton remains. Just hanging there. Waited to be rectified.

And we all know the burden of guilt. It can drive people to the most self destructive of behaviors and delusions.


I think that was addressed quite well in Flatliners.

Somehow we brought our Sins back physically, and they're pissed.
