Sin is a term used mainly in a religious context to describe an act that violates a moral rule, or the state of having committed such a violation. The English word sin was originally an archery term. The distance from the center of the bullseye to the point where an arrow struck is known as the 'sin of the arrow'. Sin is often used meaning an action thought of as wrong or prohibited however in some religions (most notably Christianity), sin or sinning is something that is an action or a state of mind.

Sin can be anything from a thought to an act or non-act. If you have to ask what "sin" is, then you don't know. No one has to tell me that I sinned. I know it before I've done it.

Sin is the deliberate abandonment of the immutable (universal) laws of happiness. Sin can only exist where there is knowledge of what those laws of happiness are. Sin is a disrespect for the divinity within one's self, the divinity within other people, and the Divinity of God.
