Yom Kippur started Tuesday night. What are you atoning for?(CNN) - What have you atoned for? What would you atone for if you were into that sort of thing? Tuesday evening marked the beginning of Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement, which Jews consider to be holiest day of the year. It's marked by a day-long fast. In the spirit of the holiday, we put the question "What would you atone for?" to Twitter and got a range of responses, from silly to serious:
What about you? What are you atoning for? What would you atone for if you did celebrate the holiday? Or maybe you already did some serious atoning this year, during Lent or Ramadan. Whatever the case, share your atonement stories with us, and we'll update this post with the best responses. |

You forget to take your meds again?
Yom Kippur is not a holiday, it is a holy day!
No... it's a fraud...
Paul and Praise the Lord are both correct.
correct me if i am mistaken, but the forgiveness is requested for the lies and misdeeds of NEXT year.
what a great concept! no wonder they rule the world.
You are mistaken. It concerns only the past year, Mistaken, ignorant and missing. Goodnight all the anti-semites. Good morning all people who accept the difference of others.
20 Million Jews alive today; 7 Billion non Jews alive. Jews rule the world cause they are smart, on average. Ask yourself what it must be like to be that bright and creative. Multiply your concept of bright by 100, then take a breath.
No dude the year past
sorry, i think you are quite misinformed. You cannot atone for sins not committed yet. We atone on Yom Kippur for all we've done wrong for the previous year. We are only forgiven if we truly repent. Merely showing up and saying a prayer won't get you out of your predicament, as God knows the thoughts and intentions of all.
Atonement ended with son of blessed Mary, Easu anointed one, Navi Allah, messenger of truth absolute,
I'm just going to pray for $atan's Chosen People so they will find the light.
Jealousy is one of the harder challenges of life-isn't it Chris. And Chris- you were named for a great man of the Jewish faith. Bile and Bitterness is eating you up.
ET was Jewish, so was Captain Kirk and Mr Spock...gives one pause to think...doesnt it?
To the haters like Mickey and Tina- even though you sound like a beach movie from the fifties- I am sure we of this faith that understand our responsibilities to All humankind-we will all hope for you that you soon come to a time where your bile and bitterness turn to love of all others- no matter what their faith, ethnicity, color or origin. I promise your ability to adapt to all kinds of people and situations will bring you a better life. =That is the message.
You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are merely 'anti-Zionist.' And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God's green earth: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews–this is God's own truth. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
Dr. King didn't live to see apartheid Israel.
play the victim much!!!
Aren't Arabs also Semites?
“When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews, You are talking anti-Semitism.”
–Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 1968
"Anti-semitism, the hatred of the Jewish people, has been and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full agreement. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently antisemitic, and ever will be so. " Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
Jesus is the way, the truth, the love.
He was actually Jewish. Hitler would therefore have kllled him.
CNN is owned by Jews lol
Ted Turner is Jewish?
The only kind of "trickle down" that actually works:

Prayer changes things.
So pray for some imagination
I'm sorry, "Atheism is not healthy for children and other living things", but your assertions regarding atheism and prayer are unfounded. The degree to which your assertions may represent correct statements is 0.0. To help you understand the degree to which your assertions may represent correct statements, I will access my Idiomatic Expression Equivalency module (IEE). Using my IEE module, the expression that best matches the degree to which your assertions may represent correct statements is: "TOTAL FAIL".
I see that you repeat these unfounded statements with high frequency. Perhaps the following book might help you overcome this problem:
I'm Told I Have Dementia: What You Can Do... Who You Can Turn to...
by the Alzheimer's Disease Society
Don't atone. That's insincere. Appease. Appease through sacrifices.
Where is so much love to PLO comes from ? Palestinians are hating America but love Dollars. They burn American flags but love Dollars. Like Arafat kept money in Swiss banks. Other live in poverty.Sending others to blow them self up to kill not believers. Short memory on a reaction from Palestinians on Sept 11. Only 11 years past.
Ted turner is not Jewish..lol
ted turner does not own cnn.
I agree with Dr. Mitchell. Not only have you trivialized the Jewish holy day but the post you selected to publish are totally inappropriate for the subject of Yom Kippur. The holiday is more than atoning for sins. It is a day of reflection and looking towards the future with a sense of renewal and being closer to God. Yom Kippur is a time of cleansing the soul and self-appraisal. You obviously do not get it....
After being totally insulted by this article I have taken CNN off my bookmark list and will get my news else ware
Check Al Jazeera, they have real news!
"will get my news else ware"
Where will you turn for spelling advice?
You can't "get closer" to an imaginary friend. Attempting to do so is called insanity.
I atone for living in a zionist nation.
FOUR BILLION DEATHS like a Thousand Holocausts. Famine and Pestilence and War and Death – The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse – At Our Door because we are Too Stupid and Too Selfish to STOP BURNING COAL and OIL and Save the World.
I believe it!
This trivializes the highest holy day of the Jewish faith. Typical CNN to lower the standards of people of faith. Sure CNN- just throw it out there for the freaks to be self righteous. It encourages and empowers the miserable, the haters and anti-semites. And to the Jesus know it alls- he was a faithful Jew. Get over it. Leave it as a personal day for people of faith who understand that Judaism is a matter of being responsible to humanity every day.
Faith should be trvialized. Ps the head hancho of cnn is a jew.
I agree with you. And whatever happened to having actual remorse and showing contrition? Trumpeting your shortcomings here on CNN.com is like being on a train-wreck reality show. Preserve your own dignity and show some reverence for this holiday.
doc, all religion is a fraud. If you suffer from a brand of this delusion, it is no better than any other.
