I just had this thought:

Quote
What offends God more? Paganism or atheism?

Then I thought:

Quote
Do they offend Him equally?

What are your thoughts, CathInfo?

I think one of them would be the belief that ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity is genetic.

I would say the sin against the First Commandment, denying God His due by ecuмenism, relativism, "one religion is as good as another. He tells us that He is a jealous God!

Quote from: Matthew

"...sins of the flesh are harder to repent of..."

Matthew, I am certainly not disagreeing with you here, but for the benefit of others and myself, would you please elaborate on how the above is true?

Well, in my opinion infidelity or total unbelief in God is the most offensive of mortal sins.

Quote from: Fr.Michael Mueller

Mortal sin is a deviation from virtue and divine law. The most heinous sin, therefore, is that which separates man from God more than any other. Now, no sin causes a greater separation from God than that of positive infidelity. When the intellect is in error and abandons the knowledge of God, the will follows it and increases in malice in proportion as the intellect turns away from the path of truth, justice, and charity.

Each step that such a man takes in the darkness of infidelity, increases the distance that separates him from God. A return from that dangerous course is very difficult, for when the intellect is in error and the will is filled with malice and depravity, all the bonds capable of uniting man to God are torn asunder.
