Darryl Gonzalez:
All too frequently, on this echo and in many other places, I see "Original Sin" referred to as sex. This is not correct.

Fredric Rice:
"Sin" is a religious belief not evidenced in fact. It is a fictional disease which the ignorant sell to the gullible so that they can then sell a fictional "cure."

Darryl Gonzalez:
Funny how Dr. Karl Menninger, author of WHATEVER BECAME OF SIN?, and recognized by many in the field of psychoanalysis as an expert in that field, doesn't share your view.

Fredric Rice:
Many cultists believe in the unevidenced, Darryl, Darryl, and your other brother Darryl. It only serves to show that people believe in the occult, not that which they believe in actually exists.

Darryl Gonzalez:
In fact, he (and I) would go so far as to say that the reason most atheists do away with the concepts of God and sin is because they don't want to acknowledge that they might be sinning against God.

Fredric Rice:
But then you believe in deity constructs so it's not surprising that you would concoct other bizarre beliefs.

In actual fact, Darryl, Darryl, and your other brother Darryl, atheists don't believe in the existance of gods and goddesses -- all of them, not just your bizarre pantheon. As such it is logically impossible to fear them.

What we find is that the believers in such occultism are to be feared, however.

Fredric Rice:
Have any evidence for this "sin" nonsense of yours, dear?

Darryl Gonzalez:
Yes.

Fredric Rice:
Curiously you forgot to provide any.

Darryl Gonzalez:
I agree with Dr. Menninger.

Fredric Rice:
You may agree that cheese holds political ambitions if you wish. Your occult beliefs aren't evidenced in fact, however, otherwise you would have presented some.

Darryl Gonzalez:
In the above book, he states (and cites case studies to prove) that much psychiatric disorder is caused by actions that are sinful.

Fredric Rice:
How bizarre. Your masters concoct a fictional disease and then go on to pretend that psychological disorders are the results of such a fictional disease -- and you don't even recognize the fact that you've proven myself correct.

Darryl Gonzalez:
I also agree with the Bible.

Fredric Rice:
Which version? Which revision? Which contradicting piece?

Darryl Gonzalez:
The ultimate evidence for the existence of sin is death.

Fredric Rice:
No, the evidence of death is death, Darryl, Darryl, and your other brother Darryl. The cost of living is death.

You claim there's something called, "sin." Provide evidence.
