as far as I know, only catholics are into "clearing" sin. isn't GOD supposed to do that?

I wouldn't know....I practice my own faith.

the "god" of christianity does not clear sin. according to the new testament, jesus sacrificed himself to atone for all of humanity's sins, past and future, so there should be no more reason to worry or fret about sin. it has been cleared. some christian churches claim that only by "believing" in jesus and "accepting him as your lord and saviour" does this "sin-atonement" actually work. that is bullshit they made up to cover their asses. according to the bible that is all nonsense. Jesus was actually preaching the abolition of all organized religion.
any christian church is pushing BULLSHIT for they know what Jesus was really after and they have to cover it up with bullshit to keep people from understanding it. Even now, many roman catholic masses are still heldd in latin in south and central america, to keep the people from understanding what is going on and to keep the "magic" alive, the flim flam. They also limit access to actual spanish bibles so that eventhe literate cannot learn for themselves.

The hebrew faith does not believ in a heaven nor a hell, therefore they also do not believe in "sin" as the christians do. they beleive all people end up in an eternal "sleep" after death.

Buddhists do not believe in heaven or hell, or in sin. one's actions reverberate through the cosmos, whether good or bad, and affect one's soul's travels as the soul goes from new body to new body.

Hindu belief does not account for "sin" either

nope. as far as "sin" goes, it is not about a karmic retribution. sin is, in christianity, a stain upon the soul. sin damages the soul in that sense.
catholics believe that some sins are irreparable, and will automaticall land you in hell, even though jesus died to atone for all opf humanity's sins, including the ones the church deems "mortal sins". Hell, the stupid fuckingh catholic church created the idea of "original sin" to essentially force every believer into thinking they were born sinful, that a baby newborn is already stained in it's soul. bunch of fucking assholes.

karma works through good and bad or even inaction, and has nothing to do with what christians have termed "sin."

I'm sorry, when I said "GOD", would you have preferred I used the term "trinity"? hah

what I meant was....MAN does not clear MAN'S sin (unless yr catholic).

me? I'm into hardcore Newtonian physics coupled with a healthy dose of the Heisenberg uncertainty principal, flavored with Thee Olde Tyme Religion and KRS1....and voodou....lots and lots of voodou.

bless.

I may be mis-reading you, but you seem to be suggesting that karma is an economic balancing of good/ bad acts, and that sin is some absolutist, irrevocable act; but you also mention in the post directly above the notions of atonement, and it's pretty clear that the balancing of sins, relative to prayer and atonement, is a similar distribution of 'moral economies', if you will; similar, again, to anthropic evolutionary principles.

Also, you've read and emphasised only one aspect of the New Testament. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I am saying that you're not entirely right. There's plenty in there about entering heaven through Christ alone. I don't necessarily agree with it (for two reasons: I don't agree with sola scriptura and my relationship to 'religious pluralism' is a huge and sprawling wreck at the moment), but using the Bible against itself or others is a pretty foolish enterprise, in my mind.

LOL ROB ---- you should be ASHAMED.

karma relies on the belief that one's actions affect the world, and that good actions lead to spreading good and that bad actions lead to spreading bad.

Sin, in the christian sense, is purely a stain upon the soul.

using the bible is a pretty foolish enterprise

Eloh'el.

never been afraid to look foolish!

and by the way, if you see yr mom this weekend, would you be sure and tell her SATAN, SATAN, SATAN!!!!
