"as for if it's a sin, it depends on the rule broken."
i guess that doesn't quite match how i feel. i do think if you break a rule, it is a sin. but i think some are justifiable like the reasons i gave above (directly due to modernity). i know you will not justify yourself for having broken a rule, but i really think (not necessarily to say you're wrong) that it's up to interpretation to decide whether or not a particular rule still applies today. i mean, everyone is supposed to question the testament / torah / whathaveyou. oh dear... i'm going to bed ... now! :P
let me rephrase that last part....
