Something for people who don't believe in sin to think about...
If there is no such thing as sin, then why do we own keys? We lock up the stuff that is important to us for what reason?
Romans 3:23 "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"

You might want to work out your communication skills, I am not sure if anyone really understands what you are talking about.

I've never heard of anyone who doesn't believe in sin.
I think the word 'sin' is closely associatted with religion so with the large number of non-religious people around they don't like to use that term so much.
'Sin' doesn't have to be religious. You can sin against a person or society.
Maybe a word like 'crime' might work better.
Why do I keep my front door locked, my car locked and my pin number secure? Because there's a lot of criminals out there!

I lock up stuff to keep others from taking it. Why do you lock it up?And why do you call it sin if someone takes it? I call it stealing.
I have never sinned. I don't believe in it. I do not fall short of the glory of God as there is no god to believe in.

There is a slight difference in believing in Sin, as per the bible, and not letting some little tea leaf nick all your worldly goods! It's just modern times, I remember when no one locked their doors, they didn't need to, because no one had anything worth pinching!

"Sin" is just a label. Of course there is such a thing as anti-social behaviour. And that's why we own keys.
But the concept of "sin" implies that there are "god-given" rules. For you, stealing might be a sin because a god said it is. For me, stealing is a crime because it is anti-social behaviour.
On the other hand, sex without marriage might be a sin for you because a god said so. For me, it is no crime, because it does no harm to anyone.
And that's the difference.

A SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE WORD OF GOD AND YOU DIE IN SPIRIT AND BECOME A UNCLEAN SPIRIT FAILING TO GROW AND DIE IN THE LIGHT OF NOT KNOWING THE TRUTH AT ALL.FOR HOLY IS THE TRUTH IN THE WORD OF LIFE AND NEVER ENDS WITH A LIE,FOR IN THE END ALL LIES COME TO AN END AND ALL DIES THAT WERE ONCE LIES.FOR THE TRUTH ALWAYS COMES OUT IN THE END OF ALL ENDING THAT ENDED IN A LIE HAD COME AND DID DIE LIVING IN A LIE.

it doesn't matter if you believe in sin or not, there are people out there that just aren't nice.
some people steal and hurt others. that's why we lock our doors. to keep the things and people that are important to us safe.

and if someone breaks into my house because they need things to steal to feed their children ...
is that a sin ?
we have keys to protect our belongings of course
but we cant judge what is and is not sin
and no one will dispute that people do wrong , or bad actions
but when people say they do not believe in sin , they mean in the biblical sense ... that we need forgiven or we will burn
that is just silly , when as you say we have all sinned
