Sin is a purely religious concept and religious people are usually hypocrites.

1. Religious places do not make us holier (and they do not save us).
2. We ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and will continue to do so until Jesus returns.
3. The key to sinning less is not "experiences" but knowing God. Experiences are extremely short-lived, but when we know the true God and read the Bible and pray every day, we will keep ourselves from sinning. Read Psalm 119 and you will see that it says this over and over again.

Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to have beliefs, virtues and feelings that one does not truly possess. The word derives from the late Latin hypocrisis and Greek hupokrisis both meaning play-acting or pretence. The word is arguably derived from hypo- meaning small, + krinein meaning to decide/to dispute. A classic example of a hypocritical act is to denounce another for carrying out some action whilst carrying out the same action oneself.
Basically, Hypocrite = most christians.

Because as a group, we are forgetful, even after experiencing uplifting things. That's why God tells us to return to your church/synagogue regularly, continue reading scriptures regularly, and pray regularly. Ever wonder why God tends to call us His children? In many ways, we are.

It's called being a hypocrite and the churches are filled with them. Why do you think churches exist? Because, my friend, nobody's perfect.

this is y Jesus died for us. so we can be human and be forgiven... but to be a Christian doesn;t mean to realise what ur doing is wrong and do it anyways.... like for example... using God's name in vein... we do it all the time and dont realise it but i know that if i say it and then realise that i did that and ask God for forgiveness and really believe in it and really mean it then hopefully in my heart i know that i am forgiven.
