There are things pre-dating the bible, that are written in stone. Don't know if you care to hear about it...

I prefer how St. John of the Cross saw things. He said things like, To find the light one must go through darkness; knowledge is found through the way of ignorance. In that vein, he might have said the path to happiness goes by the way of sadness.
They're just crazy religious folks.Anyone can say they use ancient outdated definitions of common words so as to make the case that their definitions don't apply to the discussion.
Not crazy.They're just crazy religious folks.
You noted that striving for your definition of perfection would result in failure. I explained your definition of perfection was not the understanding of "perfect" when Jesus said, "Be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect."Anyone can say they use ancient outdated definitions of common words so as to make the case that their definitions don't apply to the discussion.
In fact, when one recognizes and acknowledges one 'negative' emotion, one can travel to through it to its opposite. Or one can try your preference, which seems to be stoicism?Once you name the good you bring into existence the bad.

This is not hard to understand. My grandfather was a perfect painter. He never needed a drop cloth, never spilled, mixed his own paints, always got the right color. It was amazing to watch him. My best job painting never reached his best, because my abilities and talents were elsewhere. However, in the perfection of his talent and abilities, he taught me perfection in my talent and abilities.For one it is impossible for a human to be as prefect as an omnipotent infallible god no matter how you define the word
actually, it is Hell is the kingdom of Satan, if Satan has a home it is because it hellishReligions believe that God is Heaven, when actually it is Hell. Believing in EN.KI aka "devil" will lead to a better world.
Do you know what sin does to the mind, body, and soul?
Sin sits dormant in your body
when sin is activated do you know what sin does
Sins feed demons
The wages of sin is death, what are wages?
What activated sin
Where is this sin location?
Like I said sin is a violation of religious laws
Sin only exists in the context of religion.
Also, I've seen enough evidence to conclude that sin unchecked leads to mental illness.
The more evil they are, the crazier they get, but they do not start off that way.
