English term or phrase: being so particular about it
I dare say this sounds like foolishness to some. But many a living man could stand up this day and testify that it is true. [...] Many a person could tell you that once he did not think himself such a very great transgressor.[...]
Once he thought lightly about sin. He could not see the necessity of BEING SO PARTICULAR ABOUT IT.

de tomárselo tan en serio
Explanation:
hola ana

también "tomárselo tan a pecho"

creo que cualquiera de las expresiones preservan la intención, sonando bastante naturales al mismo tiempo

existe otra posibilidad, que sería decir "sin ser tan escrupuloso al respecto", aunque quizá no tenga la naturalidad de las anteriores.

suerte y sonrisas,

álvaro :O) :O)

ser tan meticuloso al respecto


Explanation:
No veía la necesidad de ser tan meticuloso en ese punto / tan escrupuloso en ese ámbito / tan exigente consigo mismo.

¡Suerte!

de preocuparse demasiado


Explanation:
Me atrevería a decir que se trata de una tontería para algunos, pero muchas personas podrían atestiguar al respecto y comprobar su veracidad...Mucha gente confiesa que hubo una época durante la cual no se consideraban a sí mismos grandes violadores.
Para tales personas, una vez que el pecado pierde importancia, dejan de preocuparse demasiado por ser pecadores.
