"We all live in and experience the same universe; we have different ways of describing the universe that works for each of us. The only objections I have to others' ways of describing it are those descriptions that lead to devaluing, dehumanizing, hating and harming others." 7 minutes

All sin traces back to devaluing, dehumanizing and/or harming others.  Nothing else is a sin.  Sin is action that undermines love.  Sin is not failing to follow rules or laws made up by other people. You need not avoid sin to find peace.  All you need to do is practice love, i.e, practice kindness and compassion towards yourself and others.  Remember, they have their own adventure as you have your  own.  Love them for who they are, not what they do.  Boy, this sounds like party-line kind of rationalizing.  The point I'm trying to make is don't hold other up to artificial standards and don't judge them period.  They are where they are because of their past life experience.  If you cannot tolerate their values, then step away from their adventure.  The exception is if their actions actions do devalue, dehumanize, hate or harm others, then step into their adventure at your own discretion being mindful for the consequences to them, others and yourself.  Sin only follows from devaluing, dehumanizing, hating or harming others.  All other kinds of actions are valid choices we make as part of our own life adventure.  Amen.
