What are some things that normal people do that religious people call sins?

Drinking. Heh, doing that right now. Some of them even deny that Christ drank wine, and they try to claim he drank grape juice instead. As if that was really a thing back then.

Gambling. Another yawn, except for those addicted to gambling, which is a real problem…but a sin, gimme a break!

Masturbation. Second verse, same as the first. (with apologies to Violent Femmes)

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

Think about the same sex in a sexual way. What’s next, dogs and cats living together? (and this is hardly an exaggeration; in the 2000s in the gay marriage controversy, Republicans were shouting that it would lead to bestiality)

Have sex. Sometimes even within marriage, if you aren’t trying to have a child.

Think about the opposite sex in a sexual way. Remember “eye babies”?

Whats the rule that makes "please" pronounced the same as "pleas"?

Watch porn. Yaaaaawn. This is such lazy sh*t. Why do they even bother with this one?

Doing any other kind of drug that gives you pleasure. Can’t have that!
