Isn't there a law of gravity?Does gravity not conform to the laws of nature?Aren't i,as a human being,not supposed to live my life under the influence of the force of gravity and conform to it?I think you know where i am headed with this.
Pastor AIO:



I can't quite figure out how you arrived at that conclusion.

Gravity is a force, not a law, or an order.

I don't really know how to respond because I don't know what you're saying or how it is related to what I said.

Right, the 'law' of gravity says that masses are attracted to each other with a force that is positively proportional to the mass and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

How does flying transgress this law?

By Order I meant a appropiation that is an Ideal. A logos. A dharma. A Tao. an Ayanmo or Ipin.

You can either believe there is one or not. I can't really think of a way to argue the case for it.

Very well.
But how does one validate the religious definitions of sin.Where is the absolute(the law) on which the idea of sin is based upon?On the will,the likes and dislikes of scriptural gods like yahweh?Is that not supernatural subjectivism.
Can the definition of sin as anything that pisses off yahweh the god of the jews be taken seriously by anyone outside the religious circle?
