Everything Is Wrong With Everything And We Know It: About The Loaded Word “Sin”
What is “sin”? Is it merely just drinking and cursing and skipping church? Why is the word “sin” still important today?
How sin explains the itchy longing inside every human heart, and why it’s good news that you’re a sinner.

If you were a minister near me I would go back to church. In any case, when I got sober someone defined sin as any act committed without love. I also read that we dislike in others what we see in ourselves. I am no philosopher but these two things clicked for me and I use them as a compass, albeit badly, it still works for me to keep myself mentally on a somewhat even keel.

Never thought of it in this way, though I know that all the things I used to do were just to fill a void within myself
