I saw some notes I took years ago and it got me thinking... actually it got me writing. My answer to this question would be definitely - what's yours and why?
Answers to this question:Before I realized that I had a soul and that 'karma' is a circle of Hellfire, I sinned greatly in thought, and in deed.
I was a devout atheist, predatory, sinister and self-justifying and freely hurt and disappointed all around me.
Now, totally changed and 'shifted', I embrace the light, aware that no matter how devout, we must answer for our sins....
Thanks Paul for giving your answer to this question - how are you doing?

Well, I'm divorced ... According to one or more religions, that's horrific enough to throw you out of the fold. It means excommunication. That's one big one for me. If I were to think hard, I probably have several more but I'd like to think that I have atoned as best I could since.
I know for a fact (and from personal experience) that divorce is not the unpardonable sin...Jesus died to set us free. He paid a price you or I couldn't pay (because we are sinners and He is God - even in his coming as that tiny babe in Bethlehem and living on earth he never sinner. So he could pay that price for you and for me - what an awesome gift!
Appreciate the BA. It may not be unpardonable, Marijo, but you'd think it was the end of the world at one time. Worse yet if you got remarried. I did both. Well for that matter there were a whole lot of bad transgressions (including going to another religion's service w/o getting permission from the priest). I'm glad they've lightened up.
When I first read this question and the two answers so far, I didn't want to add my own. Mainly because my beliefs about God or Creator or whatever other way you might want to call it are not very Christian. But I've given it some thought and decided to write a bit.
I don't believe it is possible to break God's heart. As I understand it, the Christian God gave us free will and I'm sure that "He" expects us to use it. That we will not always behave as "She" might like us to is a given. Surely God is enlightened enough to allow us this and not be broken hearted about it.
I have a cat, her name is Winnie. She is a good cat. She does her best to behave the way I would like her to behave. But sometimes, she just can't seem to help herself and she does a little something bad. Not very often, mind you. It doesn't break my heart when she acts against my wishes. I just think, "well, she's doing the best she can." Would God think any differently?
I wouldn't say I've broken his heart, but I may have caused him to be disappointed a time or two. I think he expects that from us.
I dont think we should live out our lives worrying about breaking the heart of someone whos not here and isnt involved in our living. Breaking the hearts of ones you love here however is far more important.
I dont bother to inhibit myself to submitting to anothers needs ever. True freewill is not following the laws, rules or beliefs of another.
We choose how to live and what to choose in our liviing without that interferring.
I dont believe in a god, I believe in myself and life and never feed the ego of control or some spiritual power that were conditioned to believe has it.
Love in anyone doesnt expect from us to give up our inner growth and freewill to choice or to submit to what they think we should do, say, belief in or how to live. Only the ego who seeks to control life does that.
To be truly free is to spiritually fly
I can relate to what you are saying in that I used to be an atheist, once - for 9 years. I no longer am an atheist but feel I now am truly free.
havent we all that is why dying on the cross to absolve our sins happened right?!
AMEN - I think I would love to join your fan club!
