Nietsche: "Unhappy is he who reflects upon himself , he who thinks he is happy in so doing is contemplating a noble lie ."
I do not believe in sin ... just ignorance or wisdom motivating our intents ...

Yes. In fact *all* sins are 'lies' to yourself in a way.
We all are capable of 3 forms of action; mental, verbal and physical. A 'sin' is having a negative mental motivation while performing any of these actions.
In a very real way, you are lying to your true self when your actions are negative.

In a religious sense no, but you will reap the consequences and reap what you sew. To lie to yourself, you can't be honest with anyone else. Honesty starts with yourself.

Sin lies only in hurting others unnecessarily. All other 'sins' are invented nonsense.

Interesting question - however, I don't believe that you (or anyone) is able to lie to themself. Unless you suffer from a severe mental disorder.
