Of cause it is a sin to major religions. They're just football teams seeking domination of the planet.
We even have Fundamentalist Buddhists busting up churches and smashing statues of Mary now!

that doesnt answer the question it can be taken completely out of context and applied to almost anything.if your goin to post a quote at least give us your interpretation of it..
* my point here was, if there is no law in the Bible that prohibits us - may it be explicit or implied - it is not a sin because the meaning of sin is the transgression of the law… and in fact, the Bible somehow encourages us to examine first:
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world."
I John 4:1
"If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.
He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him."
John 7:17-18
* sometimes, it is the user's interpretation that makes Bible verses go wrong… that's the reason why I never give my own interpretation when the verse is really that explicit and easy to understand…
"Now we know that the law is good, if any one uses it lawfully,"
I Timothy 1:8
* but if a person uses the laws in the Bible unlawfully, then those laws he corrupted would be tarnished…
the problem with the bible..
What ‘problem’? That it’s a conglomerate, ancient, Semitic text constructed full of fairy tales, legends, military conquest and justifications for wholesale slaughter, poems, stories filched from Sumerian and Babylonian mythology, then rounded off with stuff about a superman and a chapter that reads like a seriously nightmarish drug trip?!
Bah Humbug at my inquisitive nature! This parable does a better job of summing up the story of that video, AND it does so more concisely:

Enough Semite trashing. What about the books your people wrote? The Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita etc. What do you think about those?
