Episode notes
The word 'sin' derives from archery where it means 'to miss the target', seen in Greek as 'hamartia' and in Hebrew as 'Chet'. Sin is viewed as a mal intention or a failure to hit the mark. The religious enterprise is perceived as specifying the highest or most foundational aim within a hierarchy of intentions, where depth signifies the religious as it lies at the foundation of intentions. The realm of what is deep in intentions characterizes the religious, which differs from the definition based on a belief in supernatural agents.
