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.

Sin is a concept of which nature depends on the [local] culture. What is a sin in the Christian society may not be necessarily a sin in a agnostic one.

Therefore, it is not the case that someone can or cannot avoid it. It simple is. If one wants to avoid something that, at first sight, is a sin, s/he could go to another place (or to another church/religion in the same locality) and then it might not be a sin - anymore.

And plus, one's consiousness of what is a sin and what is not may be a door/way to avoid sins, in the case where changing the place is not possible.

That's it.

Cause its simply "VERY TEMPTING" for people! And humans by nature tend to get attracted to such temptations, that's why we can never avoid Sin. But on the other hand, we can't drowned in a river of sins and then tell ourselves, oh God please forgive me I was tempted!!! That's not an excuse... We just should control our behavior and actions and try as much as possible not to get attracted by it. If we fail sometimes then its fine, but not always!

First you need to define sin. Mine definition of sin is to perpetrate an atrocity. And many people can and do avoid committing an atrocity.

Because we are human. If we could avoid sin, and be perfect, we would be too good for this planet.

Its very easy to avoid sin, dump god. Then any mistakes are your own and you have to take responsibility for them and make sure you do not do them again.
