Is it arrogant to believe that you can seek redemption/absolution for your wrong doings?
Q. In other words. Don't you think it's a unacceptable to believe that it's ok to do wrong by another as long as a deity (according to you belief) says its ok? It sounds so arrogant. Your thoughts.

Do sacraments like communion, holy water, and absolution have any more power than what we ascribe to the?
Q. Is there any real power in the use of sacraments. Many Churches, such as Anglican, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox use these. Do they have any real powers beyond what we ascribe them to have? Or are they just idols?

Private lawyers are generally prohibited from facilitating the commission of a future crime.
