What makes a sin, a sin?

Question

So you're saying, if humans never considered anything a sin, or have a guilt concerning any action, there won't be something as a sin in the dictionary?

Answer 1

The definition is in the mind of the beholder.....

Answer 2

Things have always been Obvious in this matter. The simplest transgression against the 'Rules of Life' is not to breathe water. It can't be done. Any quibbling here? Instant knockout.
Another one is attempting to 'levitate' from a tall building. (oops!)
There are other Rules of Life, some more quickly 'punished' than others, but that doesn't mean they aren't there.

This little 'Fun House' we all inhabit was simply 'Meant' to be a certain Way, and not without certain limitations - which is a large part of what the Fun's all about.

I personally sense that to be depressed or anxious about anything is a bit mean-spirited and selfishly indulgent. Gluttony is punishable in a huge! way.

Just plain old 'Bad Taste' , or being a Miser isn't what the Fun's about either.

Answer 3

Technically, a sin is something contrary to God or to a belief in God. So, whatever is considered sacrilegious in your religion, is a sin.

For example: For Christians, lying in a Church is a sin because that is sacrilegious. But that might not be true for like Hindus. However, something basic like stealing is not accepted in any religion (don't quote me on this) and is thus, also a sin.
