Our instincts are to crave structure. We intuitively understand that we have to learn how to get along.

So if there is no God where do Good and Evil come from?

don't know. Maybe it's our instincts honed over tens of thousands of years, codified in different ways by different societies and sub cultures.

Yes. We do. And are biologically predisposed to want to learn how. Don't you agree?

If that's what you believe, more power to you. Can we agree that there are other possible explanations?

The concept of sin does not need to be religious. If the society sets the mark you can still miss it.

The concept of "good" and "evil" is totally subjective. Muslims believe in the same God as Christians. There are many practices in the Muslim religeon such as stoning and beheadings that I would classify as evil. The worship of images is considered evil by Islam. I think think that good and evil, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Society sets laws. Not sins. It's legal to cheat on your wife but it's a sin.

Religion is different then God. Religion is man made.
But it is a sin to break the law. You do understand the term I presume.

So then, you agree?

Not really. It's against the law to text and drive there is no sin religiously speaking
Placing the lives of others at stake is not a sin? What the hell not?

Little extreme don't you think

That does sound reasonable, it's not right to risk other people's lives
A text isn't worth ending someone's life killing is a sin. But if someone got lucky and didn't hurt anyone is it still a sin? I know it's against the law either way but not all laws are sins, not all sins are apart of the law.
You make a point, I'm no not surety if it is or isn't but either way it shouldn't be done

Agree with what? I believe there is a God. I agree some don't and that's their right
If you understand the risks, and still do it. You are sinning. I can't see the extreme.
