Wrong is wrong in any faith or lack of. Hate is the biggest problem of all mankind, eliminate hate & all could live in peace. Unfortunatly, hate is here until Satan is conquered as is promised.

Most followers of other religions that are English speaking and have a concept of breaking their deities' laws would probably use the word sin. It would be interesting to know if Hindus, wiccans and pagans have a concept of sin. Other religions may have a concept of it but probably not to the same level. I've never heard of it in the chinese, greek, celtic or norse, but I don't have an exhaustive knowledge of their religions.

There is no concept of sin with other faiths. It is a christian concept, and since you are a christian, you are unable to conceptualise religion without a concept of sin.

Sin is not a Christian concept. It was around way before christianity. If anything it is a Jewish concept. Other religions probably refer to it as morals.

In my dictionary, sin is defined as "the breaking of a religious or moral law" and " any offence against a principal or standard"
However other religions call or conceptualise it,a sin is a sin against their chosen beliefs.

Original sin is a christian idea rooted in the judeo/christian sect.
Other religions simply accept mistakes, which you may have to pay for later.

Wiccans don't believe in sin - just humans making poor choices. We take responsibility for our own actions instead of trying to create a devil as a scapegoat.

i'm pagan. i don't have "sin"
i am a good person and not a sinner. i have brought up my kids knowing that they are not sinners. when someone is labelled a sinner, it implies that they are not good enough and need salvation. it's a way to control the masses.
