I'm casually browsing through some blogs on the net, and I come across this one.

Not only do I find it offending, but I find it enforces those Christian scare tactics to keep people believing in God. Here's an example:
If you mock the concept of sin in the Church, then you will never find God in your life to any depth. Fear of the Lord, as the bible teaches is the beginning of wisdom, that means understanding why Peter says what he says, and living it ourselves. The more humble we become before our Lord, the more contrite we are, the wiser we become. Strangely enough, few people know that the opposite is true. The less humble we are, the more prideful we become, the more we turn from a healthy concept of sin, the dumber we become.
Oh, so I guess that I'm not humble and am too prideful for my own good just because I don't believe we should be spending the rest of our lives praying for sin? I think it's called COMMON SENSE. Act the way you'd like to see others acting, treat others as you'd like to be treated, and set goals in life. Nobody is responsible for the outcome of your life other than yourself. If we need someone hitting us over the head with the "God is Wrathful" junk just to scare us into acting nice, I think we ought to evaluate ourselves... not our faith.
