The Bible says: “The wages sin pays is death” (Ro 6:23), and by being born in Adam’s line all men have come under “the law of sin and of death.” (Ro 8:2; 1Co 15:21, 22) Sin, with death, has “ruled as king” over mankind, enslaving them, this slavery being one into which they were sold by Adam. (Ro 5:17, 21; 6:6, 17; 7:14; Joh 8:34) These statements show that sin is viewed not only as the actual commission or omission of certain acts but also as a law or governing principle or force operating in them, namely, the inborn inclination toward wrongdoing that they inherit from Adam. Their Adamic inheritance has therefore produced ‘weakness of the flesh,’ imperfection. (Ro 6:19) Sin’s “law” continually works in their fleshly members, in effect trying to control their course, to make them its subjects, out of harmony with God.—Ro 7:15, 17, 18, 20-23; Eph 2:1-3.

Somebody earlier said 'because its fun'. That's the problem with sin it is fun. Its also enjoyable. The reason we can't stop is because we are born into sin. Its our very nature, Romans 3: 23 say's 'All have sinned and fallen short of God's glory.' So all of us are sinners thats part of life for us. But praise God he has a solution, JESUS CHRIST'. Becuase jesus died on the cross he died for our sin so that we can be forgiven. 'He who was without sin became sin.'
If you don't know him, turn to him and confess your sin. He can help you in this area.
By the way try any other religion and they all say that we have to stop sinning and be good. Nobody can stop it on their own strength so sadly that doesn't actually work. Christianity say's 'You can't stop the sin so turn to christ, He'll wipe away your sin and help you in the future.'

What better way to scare you into obeying the laws of the church. It 's not the sin that is the problem, it's knowing you recognize right from wrong and just having morals and respect for your fellow man. They use this to get you to worship someone or something, that God never asked you to do. Think about, we are suppose to have free will, but if you do not worship Jesus then you will perish in hell... where the free will. If this is true you have no choice.

Good question! In a nutshell: Partly because we are tempted by the devil and partly because as we fall to temptation it becomes easier because it has become a habit. To list all the Biblical references would be quite a list, so I recommend you check:
www.bibleinfo.com
Look up "temptation" and "sin." Hope that helps!
BTW, those who say the church invented the entire "sin" thing should really study into the history of the Bible and the church. I believe you would discover the facts to be quite different...

Coz Genius GOD create him self zillions ways to sin and 10 ways to be good.
in OT i belive is 623 Comandments. so if you take 623 in permutations you will get at least that many ways to sin. Coz you have to obey all 623 to be good.
Now GOD him self create eveil and hell. So as all GOD's creations those are perfect creations and for the free will he figure i give you a choice. Zilions way to screwed up and 600 ways ( all have to be on the same line) to be good. Fair chance of Free will. What else can you expect from Some1 who decide to Genocide the planet in Great Flood.
Therefore GOD exists.

Because religion is a means to control people. By having lots of rules that are easy to break they can use that as evidence that you are a sinner who needs their continued help to be saved. The concept of sin is nothing more than a mechanism to keep you going to church and giving them money.

Because Christians call everything that a human could possibly do a sin. They would say that a person who is brain dead is sinning for not going to church on Sunday.

Why does a lion eat meat? Because it is in his nature to do so. This nature was passed onto the lion from his parents so on and so forth. You put a bowl of strawberries in front of him and he will starve for he will not eat them. he naturally won't eat strawberries.
Likewise because of Adam sin entered the world and that sin nature was passed onto all of his descendants (us). We are born with a sinful nature so it is as easy for us to sin as it is for the lion to eat meat. Romans 5: 8-21

A medicine which is good for health is always bitter. But, what spoils the health is always available in many sweet flavours.
Similarly, we are easily drawn towards sin, which seems pleasurable to us. But, the pleasure that comes out of sins would always be short-lived and it eventually leads to grief. But, unfortunately, we are attracted by their temporary results. that's why we are easily drawn towards sins.
