What percentage of sinners, do you believe, exist throughout the world?

I’ll go with 85% sinners and 15% dead. ;)

Lucy, good stats. probably true.

@john65pennington -That is the great thing about research! One can slant it any way one wishes! XD

0%. Sin is a religious construct.

@john65pennington from the little bit of Christian theology I was indoctrinated with, we are all sinners. Every. Single. One. Including you, if you want that theology.

I’m with @iamthemob on this. None of us is perfect, but sin is a myth.

@lucillelucillelucille Leave the dead out of this….they are either already burning in hell or tap dancing their way through the pearly gates. I would go with 95% sinners and 5% just born.

There are going to be degrees of ‘sinning’ as per each religion and culture etc.
I imagine we’re all sinners in some way or other.
You can be a sinner for smoking, drinking, gossiping, having sex before marriage, blah blah blah. And that’s before you get onto the heavy stuff, like murder etc

Percentages are bound to be skewed compared to 50 years ago.

@Cruiser Ah! You did your own research too,I see! Are you satisfied with the results? If not,you know what to do! XD

All humans are sinners (in a sense that they violate a moral rule at least once in their lives), except babies 12 +/- 3 months or younger.

66.6% Said with a cute whistle. Not unlike the beaver on Lady & the Tramp. Shay, it worksh shwell :¬)

100% Not because of the “we are all sinners” nonsense, but because we are all people who deal human emotions and difficult situations. I do think you can be a good person despite that. One big error does not make you a bad person or a “sinner” in my eyes. So, I would guess 80% basically good people, 20% not so much.

@lucillelucillelucille No….there were way to many outliers in my findings….I am currently applying for a Federal grant but did so under the guidelines of Faith-based” research in hopes of getting more money faster than if I applied for scientific studies! I am expecting Millions! ;)

@Cruiser The check is in the mail.

@lucillelucillelucille Give Sarah my personal thanks! ;)

the two of you look whoa dangerous together.

@Cruiser -The check is from Micheal Flatley,“Lord of the Grants” XD
@iamthemob -Cruiser is nothing to be afraid of XD

@lucillelucillelucille – I’m not afraid – I’m totally digging it. It’s like the two of you called each other to coordinate your outfits for school that day.

No offence but I think it’s a sin to repeat that story about the foetuses. I hate when people tell me things like that.

@iamthemob -XD

@iamthemob The only thing you have to be afraid of is @lucillelucillelucille showing up to the first tee wearing those ghastly corduroy pink plaid golf trousers again! Honestly Lucy what were you thinking! The cammo tank top and rental bowling shoes were a nice touch though! XD

@Cruiser-I have since changed and am much more threatening in my new outfit—

@lucillelucillelucille Do you have a permit for that thing? XD

@Cruiser I don’t need no stinking permit!

About 4.41176 percent.

@ragingloli – isn’t that about the population of the United States?

Wait, why does being sinner completely preclude you from being a good human being? Does that mean if I get angry after I help feed the homeless, that good act is completely negated by my anger? Do the people whose lives I saved immediately die if I have a one-night-stand? Do the children I’ve taught forget everything once I display pride?

From what I understand, sin afflicts everyone, as sin is traditionally defined by Christians but that does mean that everyone is a bad person.

Anyone notice how the seven deadly sins are completely normal, human behaviors and desires?

100%

Zero. There is no such thing as a “sinner”.

Technically everyone’s a sinner no matter how “good” you are. The way you are defining the term “sinner” here is more equivilent to the terms “dark entities” and “light entities”. There are “gray entities” as well who are borderline to go to either the path of lightness or darkness.

@john65pennington You’re nicer than I am. I would go with 50% gray entities, 25% dark entities and 25% light entities. Since everyone sins and falls short of the glory of God I prefer to use the terms gray, dark and light entities.

If a sinner is someone who has done wrong of some kind, I’d have to say 100% because there is no one who is without some fault or blame.

However, you haven’t yet treated us to your definition of “sinner.” To judge by your details, it’s a safe guess that it’s not the same as mine.

I was under the impression everyone is a sinner.

Those fetuses were aborted illegally, I’m sure. It’s interesting that they ended up in a Buddhist temple. (Buddhism has its own practices for dealing with abortion, meant to ensure the fetus’s rebirth or -incarnation, etc., at least in Japan. I wonder whether the same sentiment was behind this event in Thailand.)

100 percent if there was such a thing. Everyone has or will do something that falls in to a gray moral area.

@john65pennington What’s your definition of a sinner?
