"Sin" is in the eyes of the beholder. Almost every act that people interpret as sinful because of some passage in the bible is condoned or even promoted in a passage elsewhere in the bible. That is the mastery of this strange book. (Including the fact, just as an example, that the ten commandments are actually part of "Old Testament Law", which Jesus' freed everyone from if you take a 'literal' interpretation!)
I strongly suggest you stop being so concerned about other people's behaviour (about which you can do nothing), and focus on being a nice person. Treat yourself and your planet with reverence & respect, and then you'll be okay whether it's the Christians, the Jews, the Buddhists, the Muslims, the Hindus or the followers of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster who are actually right...

Because we are born in sin, and shapened in iniquity.
But God made a way to bridge the gap between us and Him
because sin separates.
He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die and take the punishment for sin which we deserved, so that we all have the opportunity to be set free from the power of sin in our lives
How can you do this
1. Confess your a sinner and ask Jesus to forgive you.
2. Repent (turn away from everything you know to be sin)
3. Hand your whole life, your future over to God, knowing that
He has a plan and purpose for your life.

There is no such thing as sin. There are morals, and ethics... but sin is not a concept found in reality, only dogmatic indoctrination.
Morality is derived from causality... there are no hard and fast rules for what is wrong and what is right. Everything must be judged on a case by case basis. Example... if killing is a sin then why does god do it on a grand scale in many instances in scripture? Why is the death penalty OK? Are you starting to understand?

We are sinful in nature. We cant help but sin, from prideful and disobedient choices....keeping God in mind and keeping in constant prayer helps. Reflecting on His word and know that He has promised to provide for us and complete the good work He has begun in us.

I guess if they believe what they are doing *is* a sin, then that is between them and their god. I don't know why a person would choose to live by a belief system and then break the rules they agreed to abide by.
If they do not believe what they are doing is a sin, they don't have to worry about it.

What you think is a sin might not be a sin to me.
And I'm not very sure it's your version that counts at the end of the day. I'm not even sure if there's a god who will judge me. probably not.

It's because people keep making mistakes and don't learn form mistakes and never think about answering to god one because they don't even think god is real and if he is real then they will sufer the consquences.
if you don't sin then you will be spared.

Because God coming down on us for being sinners would be like the pot calling the whole f**king kitchen black.

The Satan whispers into the hearts of people. He makes them forget that they have to stay in this world temporarily and that one day they will be held accountable for what they used to do.
The greatest feat the Satan ever pulled off was to make the world believe that he doesn't exist.
