Sin is not bad because it is evil. Sin is bad because slowly it cuts us off from the source of life, from God. Sinfullness may allow someone to gain wealth on earth, but that persons soul will suffer (thinking especially of dealing drugs) but there is also another demension, that is namely the realm of the mind. If in your mind someone offends you and you hate them for that, it is sinful because you are unable to see God in that person.
The wage of Sin is death, maybe not all at once, but a creeping death that infects a person.
If you don't think death walks among us, look at someone who uses meth, they are the walking dead, but they have the life that God gave them still. They are still being bestowed the mercy of God to continue living so that they might turn from their way of life and live.
I like to think of God as the source of life in that he is a flame burning inside each person, making our hearts beat, allowing the trees and animals life, therefore there is no place on earth that god doesn't actively enter.. The question of sin arises when we are cut off from or cut ourselves off from this Holy Spirit.. If we try to fight alone the demons overwhelm us, but they cower in the face of God the Immortal, Giver of Life and Source of all Good.
To anyone who reads my ramblings, I hope they are helpful. I dont believe it wastes time to talk about serious issues that relate directly to the life of everyone.
Peace Love and Happiness
