This question came about today because some of the members here have spoken about how morals are relative. Some hold deeply to their religion, some aren't very religious but are very moral, some like the dark side of everything and seek it out, and some (like myself) tend to be on the amoral side. But what really inspired me to make this poll was that some hold the view that certain morals are strict while others are relative. For example, one person said that murder, lust, and greed are all fixed wrong behavior in addition to any personal views on sin, and if you perform the said sinful actions, that it can screw with your magick and color your karma.
Lust was listed as a "fixed" sin, but personally, I don't find anything wrong with it. And I'm not a perv or sleezy guy at all or anything like that, rather, I truly believe that there is nothing wrong with carnal lust and acting on it. I can droningly say with my mouth "lust is wrong," but I don't truly feel this. I wonder what other sins people here feel is or is not "wrong" in the stereotypical sense.

I've never really respected what the bible labels as sins, since the old testement god commanded his people to rape, slaughter innocents, lie, steal, and basically commit every sin he forbids. I believe that any action one commits that causes the suffering of another being is wrong, but I hesitate to use the word "sin" because of the religious stigma attached. I agree with acid. These things are only "sins" when they negitively affect others, otherwise lust is just the impulse to reproduce and greed is just the desire for survival, and until they hurt others, they shouldn't be considered sins. There's my input.

(IMG: style_emoticons/default/hmm.gif) Well You got me thinking... ~Myroku I had already been thinking about sins, wrong, and right before I read this topic and i've come to the conclusion that it's better to consider how your actions will affect others than how the actions will be judged by a god.
