> almost anything you can name will be something that someone religious will just give up because they think it will grant them favor by God. This is what the Pharisees were doing. Christ clearly refuted this kind of religious attitude. See Matthew 23. A couple of the things you listed are genuinely sinful. On the other hand, careers, food, alcohol etc. can be sinful, but are not always. See e.g. Judges 9:13 and many other verses. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=judges+9:13&version=ESV https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=judges+9:13&ver...

I don't believe anything I listed is genuinely sinful. I don't believe Abrahamic God exists. I'm not really concerned what a certain popular novel on the subject thinks about sin, especially one as heavily edited and manipulated as the Bible. [1] As long as I'm not harming others, I wouldn't say that anything I do is sinful. I might even argue that sin doesn't exist. Transgressing against divine law is something you can't really do if you don't believe divine law is real. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_canon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_canon
