re: #100 calochortus

Almost all humans feel guilt. It is not something imposed by religion. This guy would presumably feel guilty even if he were an atheist. In this case, his religion is helping him cope with it. That’s probably a good thing. In any event, it’s really none of my business.

Just one atheist’s opinion.

Jolo is concerned that the fellow may be feeling guilty about something he shouldn’t feel guilty about. I agree with that, but it isn’t the person we should be condemning but the entity deciding what is and what isn’t an action that requires guilt.

I also agree that religions can make some pretty stupid ‘laws’ and are far too rigid in their demands the laws be followed.
