For all the Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Atheists, is it a sin or unmoral or a sin to not try your best at everything you do? If you believe in a God he gives you your limits and you should come as close as you can to them right? And if you don't that's just wasting you; so it's a sin? Would it have been a sin if I didn't make this thread so I could just ponder this question to myself? Because when some of your read this it may inspire you to try your best at everything you do. So if I didn't make it I wouldn't be using all of my power to try and inspire people to do their best. I dun get it.

It's not a religious question. To the OP, it depends on what you do. If you try your best to kill people, for example, then yes it is immoral.

People have been lied to about God for thousands of years. No, I won't explain it, because you'll blow me off as "crazy."

Well, why would it be immoral to strive for excellence?

I need to word better. I'm asking if it's immoral to NOT strive for for personal best.

It's partly my fault, but to answer your question, I don't really know. I suppose the only person you'd be hurting would be yourself.

It is tough, ain't it? Everyone to an extent has some ability to do something moral (help someone out, etc.), and therefore, they have the responsibility to do so. It's ludicrous to think about sacrificing all your time and energy to making others happy just because you have the potential though. In your mind, you make the decision to not do something moral because somehow it's a burden to do, and I wouldn't expect everyone to put themselves before someone else; after all, the effort might be well not worth it for someone who doesn't deserve the help. So, coming from an atheist and disregarding the "sin" aspect of it, it's not really immoral to not give your 100% because ... well, then you'd be miserable as all hell for the sake of other, probably less miserable, people. Morally, we shouldn't always expect to be helped by others either, and we should respect the fact that people may have to go out of their way to help you. It's all about balancing, I suppose.

In space, the stars are no nearer...

Well many philosophers have said that the meaning of life is to live for others, so I don't know, tough stuff though.

well, you shouldn't have asked this question.

If you don't KNOW it's a sin, it's not a sin.

FACT.

but is it a sin, or immoral if you don't reap the maximum benefits. That's what I'm looking for in this thread.

Morals are completely based on the person themselves and the mindset they were raised with, to a serial killer killing someone isn't immoral, however to an average person killing someone is immoral.
