His philosophy neglects to address sin and redemption in a meaningful way. I still enjoy him though, he is like a cozy hippy grandfather.

What if I was raised in the middle east and thought that burning bitches alive was A-OK? I'm serious, whatever culture you grew up in determines what you think is right/wrong. So that sin/redemption shit is USELESS

He talks a lot about free will and how we always do whatever it is that we want but how these choices have consequences.
You do your duty because it is but the choice of the lesser evil, and you don't have to face the consequences of making a bad decision.
You go to hell for sin and whether you want to believe that you like it or not, you are still slaves to the desires and bad choices you make.
Taking responsibility for your life is not abolished just because you translate eastern philosophy to the western world.
The Bible also teaches that you are free to do what you want but that not all is good for you. Unless you're a jew.

I think that's because he simply doesn't appear to believe in either sin or redemption.
Which I've heard some people express as redemption being in some sense a betrayal of who you are, and sin being an obviously redundant concept if you are as Alan Watts believes the universe itself.
I think he probably considers sin (in a subjective sense of the concept of sin) more of a failure to be in touch with yourself. That's the impression I got.
