Jesus never claimed that he was going to get rid of sin, rather that he would sacrifice himself so that we would be forgived for said sin.
Which, as far as I can see, is why we should sin as much as is comfortable. We wouldn't want the savior to have died for naught.
What do you think the church has been doing this all time?
Feels like when a gamedev pushes out a half baked balance patch.
Initially the rules were too strict, any sin would prevent entry into heaven. So they changed it so you can be forgiven even on your deathbed, now sin is meaningless.
And they only pushed that patch out because an influencer raised a big stink, Jesus Christ also known as streamer MoistCr1tikal.
That was totally my dickhead Dad's idea, btw. Not just the "stick your kid on a cross" idea, but sin itself. I mean, if you're gonna create a universe filled with carnal desire, what damn right do you have to tell folks not to enjoy it?
Then, to top that absurd hypocrisy, he then goes around knocking up virgins under their fiance's nose, declares the kid the king of the Jews (when there already IS a king who likes to behead prophets), and then tells the kid he's gotta overthrown the Roman Empire... lemme just say I've considered patricide more than once.
