it’s worded
“if a person knows something is an avera, and habitually does it anyway, s/he is a rasha”
ps unless they’re a baal teshuva
Does it mean if BT knows this is an avera s/he can keep doing it any way because s/he BT? Really? And for how long? One year? Ten years? Till 120?
IMHO, if person (Jewish or not, observant or not) knows s/he is doing something wrong and keep doing – it is something wrong with person.
