No I don't. The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work 100 percent of the time?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case and we are perfect creations of a perfect God then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.

Yes of course - Christians do it all the time - don't they?
Non Christians however do not believe in it so whilst they might do wrong or something that is not very nice it most certainly is not sin!!
Repent Christians for you are all sinners- if you say you are not - would that not make you better and more perfect than Jesus? The sin of false pride is certainly present in some of the answers here!!!
Thank goodness I am not a Christian - I would hate to be that bad!!!! Or that crowing!!!

No.
Sin is a religious concept that does not play out in the reality of our world. Cause and Effect does.
Do something good for someone? It is usually returned in kind.
Do something terrible to someone? Again. Your comeuppance is just around the corner.
Newton said, for each action there is an equal and opposite reaction. That's all there is in terms of how our physical world works. Placing a religious or moral layer on top serves no purpose and can muddy what's really happening. It can blind you to intent.
Keeping things simple, thus keeping them real by viewing actions and reactions in terms of Cause and Effect, gets you to the heart of things and enables you to change course in a way that is more effective and positive in your life.

Do you beleive in crime? A sin is just a superior form, though many crimes are also sins.

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

yes i do because i believe in God and I believe that are certain things that God would like us to do and not do, if we not do sins we are halfway to being a good, decent person, that's my opinion but hey still sins are all around(not a perfect world, never will be) and even i admit that i have done some sins

Yes I do. Sin is the unbelief in God and his sovereignty. SINS are the actions that result from that sin.
