I've had this idea over a few things, I think sometimes when people do sinful things, that maybe there is something healthy they could do instead

like if someone does drugs to feel good, they could instead maybe exercise and that can make people feel good hormonally and even give a "runner's high" to people (this shouldn't be abused or become an addiction in itself but I think sometimes it could be a beneficial alternative)

So perhaps in this thread we could discuss alternatives to certain things that people do, like sins people commit that could be given some alternative.

For example what do you think about tarot card alternatives? People play with the cards and try to tell people's futures. Could they play a card game instead? I guess the tarot cards were originally used just for card games? Could they play some kind of card game that isn't fortune telling? For some people, it might be best to stop certain activities entirely, so they're not tempted to do the wrong thing.

So tarot alternative ideas?

Ideas of other sins and alternatives?

I’m not a christian at all. Grew up going to church until 16 and noped out of there as soon as my parents let me make my own decision. Not sure what the obsession with other people sinning is? Let them make their own mistakes if that’s what you see them as.

This would be a combination of things, though, right... Some people talk generally about sin, and others take it personal and thus view it as Chrisitan imposition on their way of life.

At other times, Christians are making observations about the direction of society, and again, it is interpreted as a judgment of specific individuals.

I think what we see mostly, though, is people self-conscious about how they are failing the standards that their parents and other people they respect put on them, and instead they reverse it: No, the problem isn't my substance abuse/fornication, it's the fact that it bothers you.
