Evangelizing Oedipus Rex

During our very heated discussion about Oedipus Rex today, we discussed the idea that sin must be dealt with. While Oedipus went years and years living a wonderful life, the reality that he killed someone eventually surfaces. Although he had been running from the truth for so long, it finally caught up to him. This parallels life today, as while we can go on sinning as much as we want, eventually it will become too much for us and we will have to come to terms with what we have done. Those who do not confess of their sins suffer much more than those who do, because they have to struggle with the more intense internal punishment.
