That would depend on the God.
Some gods approve of eating baby humans for instance.
Other gods approve of hiding behind women anc childre when you shoot to kill people.
I even hear of gods that forgive all sins - thereby allowing anything at all to happen as long as you go to church the next sunday.
In my world, sin is when somebody intentionally hurts another being in any way, especially if that be for profit.
There is no universal interpretation of sin, it is up to you.

Anything not in harmony with, hence contrary to, God’s personality, standards, ways, and will; anything marring one’s relationship with God. It may be in word, in deed, doing wrong acts or failing to do what should be done, or in mind or heart attitude. Lack of faith in God is a major sin, showing, as it does, distrust of him or lack of confidence in his ability to perform.

This, of necessity, requires man’s obedience and submission to the divine will, whether that will is conveyed in the form of an express commandment or not. Sin, thus, involves a moral failure, a missing of the mark, in all these aspects.

Greek writers often used ha·mar·ta′no with regard to a spearman missing his target. Both of these words were used to mean missing or failing to reach not merely physical objects or goals but also moral or intellectual goals or marks. Proverbs 8:35, 36 says the one finding godly wisdom finds life, but the ‘one missing wisdom is doing violence to his soul,’ leading to death. In the Scriptures both the Hebrew and Greek terms refer mainly to sinning on the part of God’s intelligent creatures, their missing the mark with regard to their Creator.

"Sin" is an antique archery term that means "to fall short of the mark". So, its a short coming, I guess.
