My wrong-doings are legion. My sins are not. I believe there's a difference. What do you think? Aren't many wrong human acts not sinful?

@mollydotcom By definition, sin is specifically an affront to religious mandates and nothing necessarily to do with actual morality.

@heydonworks I suppose sin was too vague a word in that tweet. I see sin less as morality and more the betrayal of personal ethics.

@mollydotcom Ah okay. The only quality I find truly irredeemable is the ability of some to convince themselves they have done no wrong (1/2)

@heydonworks Yes, and sadly the blame others is all-too-common. I have the opposite problem, really, I blame myself for ALL THE THINGS! :-)

@heydonworks I'm sorry. I try but I just fail with good intentions still in hand. @mollydotcom

@stephenhay @mollydotcom Which brings us back round to intentions. I agree with @claudiasnell that if wrong is done without intention, okay

@heydonworks @stephenhay @claudiasnell The wrong and the doer matter too. A five year old intends to steal a pencil, does so. Lesson or sin?
