If sin creates victims, then Gays and prostitutes are innocent.
My definition of sin says that sin is something that creates a victim or someone somehow hurt by the action. Someone must stand to complain about any given action before it can become a sin.
If there is no one that can legitimately say that they were directly or indirectly hurt by the actions of a gay person or prostitute then there is no sin.
The reason I bring up this topic is that I see that secular law will become the law of all nations in the near future. Religious law will become inconsequential to the state.
Even today, there are few states that practice religious law. They are under pressure as we speak to change.
I foresee, that at some point in time, the corner store will become the corner den of legal prostitution, gambling and drugs/alcohol use. Abortion clinics will likely be on the top floor of these corner store.
Some countries presently have laws against these so called victimless crimes. Those laws will eventually disappear.
With my definition of sin, I cannot and would not stop this trend.
I do not see this coming situation as one of a dignified nation populated by dignified men. What used to be restricted to red light districts will be everywhere. This unsightly, some would say ungodly, situation has always existed but at an underground level. Soon it will be above ground.
Is this future as I describe inevitable?
Will religionists have to bite the bullet and just close their eyes as they see their children drawn into this future/present life style?

Are you serious? Then you yourself cannot sin unless you create a victim?

Yep.
What kind of sin do you see that does not have a victim or complainant?

How do you tell a victim raped by her father that she must honor him?
How do you tell her to honor her mother who turned aside her complaint?
This applies to many children.

Ah, but not everyone. And you clearly made no exceptions in your assertions.
It just is not true what you said. At all.
