We had this fortune cookie day at work. I ate a cookie and I posted my fortune on the wall now.....people were eating a fortune cookie and taping their fortune to the wall and writing their name under it. I didn't think anything of it at the time. But I'm still kinda a Christian (trying to come back to God), so maybe that's a sin and I need to take it down? And cross my name out?

Some would say it is a sin...I think that it depends on what is in your heart and how seriously you take it's message. A fortune cookie is not equal to God, but it can be an amusing piece of entertainment...but what do I know?

I know of literally nobody that actually takes fortune cookies seriously. It's all silly fun. There is no sin there to contemplate.

Did you mentally add "in bed" to your fortune? Some people probably think that's a sin.

I don't think it is a sin. I think it is fine to read fortune cookies.

I think you should relax a bit and not worry so much about such extremely trivial things.
I think there are bigger problems in the world (both in your life and outside of it) that deserver more attention and more worrying, wouldn't you agree?

From wikipedia:
David Jung, founder of the Hong Kong Noodle Company in Los Angeles, has made a competing claim that he invented the cookie in 1918. San Francisco's Court of Historical Review attempted to settle the dispute in 1983. During the proceedings, a fortune cookie was introduced as a key piece of evidence with a message reading, "S.F. Judge who rules for L.A. Not Very Smart Cookie". A federal judge of the Court of Historical Review determined that the cookie originated with Hagiwara and the court ruled in favor of San Francisco. Subsequently, the city of Los Angeles condemned the decision.
Ha ha!
