Post #78 "Sin, or the Perception of Sin?"

Interestingly, the religions that hold the feminine in equality do not appear to have the need to wage power struggles, however, these few religions have mostly been overcome and stamped out by  patriarchal power religions. These non-patriarchal 'bested' religions were brought down through the perception of  'good' and 'evil'. The undeserved and abusive treatment and horrific murder of people whose only 'sin' was a difference of view has shaped our moral systems. The reality was that power systems that called themselves religion killed, abused, and pillaged for privilege and financial gain. Throughout history, horrific labels have been applied that separated good/graced from bad/sin... horrific labels such as 'heretic', 'gnostic', 'infidel', or 'witch'. It was and is all about reducing the feminine to these terms of identity and by destroying a threatening masculinity into the vulnerability of the feminine through torture and death. The loss of power renders the masculine deprived of masculinity and therefore becomes his shame; making hm and the feminine as one. What frightening, threatening words have been applied to innocent people who suffered unbelievable loss of identity through physical mutilation, loss of family and friends, through loss of home, property and peaceful existence. What did the word 'heresey' really describe.....an actuality or a perception... a sin or a perception of sin? Was heresy a sin within itself or was heresy a sin because it threatened Power? Is it logical, then, to suspect that that which threatens Power is referred to as 'sin' by the elite against the vulnerable? Is that which threatens Power truly 'evil'? And what of all those other words and labels such as gnostic, infidel, witch, all those gender and racial name-calling words and tags? What of all the words of sexual insinuation and discrimination? Are these words describing reality or non/reality? Did the actuality of what these people were accused ever really exist? Did their sin exist?
Was it sin? The accounts and lists could go on and on. Did any of these descriptive words truly define 'good and 'evil'? Did any of these words truly or accurately define 'sin'? Accordingly then, is it possible that sin does not exist in reality but is an expression of fear of the loss of Power? Is 'sin' the label forced on the vulnerable, the feminine, and those deprived of their masculinity by those thirsting for Power, by the elite, by those desiring to become God? Is 'sin' the vulnerable, the feminine?
