Name me a right which doesn't require you to sin. Because I can name you plenty of wrongs that have done plenty of good.
Thanks to war, we are the Country we are today.
Thanks to guns, bombs, and soldiers trained to kill we are the Country we are today.
Thanks to killing Hitler, we are the Country we are today.
Thanks to the millions of animals and sea creatures killed to feed us, we are the Country we are today.
Thanks to thousands of wrong doings, we are able to live in the best Country today.
Thanks to the belief that every killing was done under the name of God, this Country is the Country that it is today.
We are living in a Country built of killers to protect ourselves from being killed, and are the richest and most blessed Country ever.
Name me a way to live which does not consist of sin? For the only way to protect yourself and loved ones from sinners is to sin.

You think it would be a sin to kill Hitler?
You think its sinful to kill animals to eat them?
I have a feeling you're not a Christian...what is your definition of sin then?

The name is Jesus. Study his life and you'll witness a totally sinless existence.
You also appear to be rather cynical.
Many of the things you mention are not sins, as there's no sin in defending one's self or one's country, or in making use of animals or fish to feed one's self.
To be truly guilty of sin,certain conditions must exist:
1) The offense must be voluntary, entered into by free and complete assent of the will.
2) The offense must be serious.
3) Unlike human civil and legal statutes, ignorance of the law of God IS a factor which can diminish or eliminate one's culpability for sin.

If you don't personally do any of those things, you have not committed any of those sins. If you want to choose a life without sin, always think of the other person first. You do not have to kill, or hurt others in order to live free

Most religions permit some version of "justified killing" -- for example, killing somebody who is trying to kill you. So I think your premise is essentially flawed; nobody would consider killing Hitler a sin. (Though it's true our country has also done some immoral killing in its time!) I do believe that it is possible to live a moral life -- or at least to strive for one.

Wrong. Sin is the cause of war. People get hurt when they don't obey God's commandments. He made them out of love for us. What does the greatest country in the world do for loneliness, fear, obesity and depression?

From what I understand about many religious types, if you hate yourself for sinning and hate everyones sins and think everything is a sin and beg for forgiveness from an unseen and 100% faith based entity who may grant us this forgiveness if we know how to beg right then you might go to heaven which is a place that is 100% unseen and so we have to take it on faith that one of the nut jobs out there actually knows what heaven looks like..

If we are the richest and most blessed country in the world then why are there millions of people living in poverty?

Your logic is heavily flawed.
You make the erred assumption that this world, as it is, is what GOD wanted and it is not.
GOD created a perfect world and humanity destroyed that perfection.
That is why the world is what it is now. This world is created by humanity's hands and in humanity's image, not GOD's.
So, this world reflects the gross imperfections of humanity, not the perfection of GOD.

"Sin" is a religious concept. Living your life without religion means you live without sin.
