Lack of charity. Like when someone asks what sins I confess during Confession and I respond with, “None of your business!” Why do you want to know everyone’s sins in the first place? Surely you have some of your own to worry about.People committ sins every day. Of the sins you have committed in the past, or continue to committ, which do you feel **most **guilty about.
Please - no cop outs. Only proper sins. Nothing like “I may have committed the sin of pride” or something lightweight like that.
RELAX MAN!Lack of charity. Like when someone asks what sins I confess during Confession and I respond with, “None of your business!” Why do you want to know everyone’s sins in the first place? Surely you have some of your own to worry about.

I’m very relaxed man.RELAX MAN!
A rather personal question for a public forum don’t ya think?It’s your buisness if you want to respond to a post. Nobody is forcing you to answer anything. I didn’t say I wanted to know what people confessed. I want to know which sins cause people the most feelings of regret and guilt in the first place.
ahhh… so you intend to justify your rather rude question by saying, “… but everybody else is doing it.” :tsktsk: Sad. Peace, I won’t waste your time with further responses.It does strike me that this particlar forum is FULL TO THE BRIM with people worrying about other peoples sins!!!
Well, unless you are giving out names and adresses the entire point of the internet is that it is anonymous, thus giving people the oppurtunity to express themselves.I’m very relaxed man

I save this for the sacrament of confession, where it belongs. we have a forum rule about asking personal information.People committ sins every day. Of the sins you have committed in the past, or continue to committ, which do you feel **most **guilty about.

Well how to you know which one that is???The one that causes Our Lord most offence.
Forgiveness is a tough one… But I have been lucky not to have been seriously wounded by anybody such that I can’t forgive them.Rage and lack of forgiveness.
It helps me to say the Our Father.
I would ask if guilt comes from God?
In one sense I don’t do guilt. I used to but I feel like I have grown up and now realise that it is no use feeling guilty. Instead I now focus on my deep seated need for God’s mercy, my realisation that without Him I can do nothing and instead of burying my head in shame / guilt I remedy to get Confession and rejoice in the Mercy of God.Well how to you know which one that is???
My point is, that some people have different ideas on what is a big sin, and what is not such a big deal. I know the church has a list of sins etc, but as we all know some sins require a lot of penance, some just a few hail mary’s etc. For example: Some stealing - yes wrong - I did once when I was a kid - don’t feel guilty about it at all. I was young, there was not really any victim who was deeply wounded by this. Admiring women/lust (as mentioned above) I would put low down on the list of seriousness, whereas adultery (haven’t done that…yet…just kidding…don’t plan on it) I would put higher on the list, murder obviously on the top. get my meaning???
That sounds like a more constructive way to live. I have another thread called “is guilt constructive”. I’ll be interested to see what other people think.In one sense I don’t do guilt.

I’ve had acute feelings of guilt in association with sins where I most clearly knew it was wrong and had no real confusion on that issue. Also, I feel it strongly when I’m sure it caused direct harm to another person, particularly if they were a protected category (blind, widow, mentally ill, child, the weak in conscience).People committ sins every day. Of the sins you have committed in the past, or continue to committ, which do you feel **most **guilty about.
