"It isn't that we doubt the concept of sin. But we are confused about what constitutes a sin. Since our society keeps changing the false gods we worship, we also keep changing the things we label as sin. When we worshiped the god of success, people considered it a sin to be a failure. When we worshiped the god of self, it was a sin not to be self-actualized even if that meant breaking our commitments, hoarding our money, or forgetting about the public good. Now that we worship at the altars of pluralism and tolerance, the only unforgivable sin is to claim that someone else is wrong. All of this has left us morally confused. But still we know that something is wrong." - Craig Barnes "Hustling God"
