Have you ever told yourself "I will quit smoking. From now on, smoking is sin." ?
No, you didn't. Because you don't have the right to declare sins with respect to your behavior. Only the authorities ruling you have that right.
The solution is very easy: No God, no sin.
If you no longer follow God, all your sins stop being sins.

Those apologetics books are daft to the extreme. And it would seem we must believe.
And that those who don't have no hope, but want to sin. Wasn't real?

However what's not funny is the RW rubes who follow these idiots - they forget about these failed predictions completely and stand ready to embrace whatever the next end-of-the-world crisis is.
