Right and all (unrepentant) sinners face the same ultimate fate, correct?Yes of course it is. Everyone is not a thief or a child molester. Everyone is not a racist.
But everyone is a sinner.
How does it even matter to be a child molester or thief if simply being born into this world is bad enough to have the same charge against you (sinner) and face the same fate?
You don’t have to answer those questions as I actually don’t want to get into that specific discussion and derail the thread but my point is that it isn’t too different, to me at least, for someone to believe that we all possess some racist tendencies to an extent or another, from the belief that we all sin to some degree or another. It’s really not that big of a stretch for either point. I don’t exactly believe in sin in the way you might but I wouldn’t say we humans are totally innocent in our actions. Sometimes we steal, sometimes we do things that are much worse. There’s degrees to it. Same with racism or prejudice or bigotry. Some of us make a joke at someone’s expense based on their race or culture and not even realize it was offensive. Others become Nazis. I wouldn’t put them in the same category together but there’s degrees of separation between their underlying beliefs and assumptions about others.
