Interesting debate on Radio 5 today

[Peppermint]

In this day and age what is a sin?

Coverting thy neighbours chartplotter perhaps.

[Oldhand]

My neighbour is the sinner as he hasn't got a chart plotter for me to covet!

[StugeronSteve]

Not quite sure which is the greater sin, to covet one's neighbour's chart plotter, or to cavort with one's neighbour's chart plotter.

[Twister_Ken]

Or even to convert it.

[Goodge]

most of life's pleasures are illegal immoral or fattening !

[jimi]

Well a sin in not necessary illegal et vice versa .. I've always taken it as being based on the "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" sort of rule.


<hr width=100% size=1>

 

[Gunfleet]

Exactly. Buggery is usually legal and always a sin. Parking on a yellow line is illegal but not a sin. I think I'm going to go to church more.

[jimi]

ROFLMSO!

<hr width=100% size=1>

 

[StugeronSteve]

But.... if by parking on a yellow line you inconvenience someone else, in a manner that you would not wish to be inconvenienced yourself, is it not then sin.

[Twister_Ken]

Whatever cranks your engine, but it's only a sin if you get caught at it.

[Gunfleet]

It is, like the absence of a question mark at the end of an interrogative sentence, a peccadillo, not worth confessing.

[StugeronSteve]

Fair cop guv, though I have to admit to being of the misconception that an interrogative sentence meant doing time in Camp X-Ray, or Abu Graib.

[bobnewbury]

I should go around dressing in latex and sitting on young ladies' faces?
