I don't believe in sins. I do however know the difference between right and wrong without an intangible parent figure telling me. Too bad some don't share this skill.

If the Adam and Eve story is to be believed then before the fall there was no death but babies could be created. The tree of knowledge had to be eaten (introducing death) or else sooner or later the earth would become over-populated. In this respect, sin would seem to be all part of the master plan.

To p!ss off a bunch of uptight christians.
Personally, I don't pay much attention to what they call sinning and what they don't. It is all a load of bullcrap to me and I have no desire to know of it. Whether it happens or not is outside the realm of conscious reasoning, but rather simply a matter of coincidence.
And I couldn't care less.

Sin is the perspective of one culture. To sin means you follow one particular cultures definition of what Sin is. if you don't believe in that nonsense then you don't sin. A person might break the law, but they only sin if they think they do according to the rules of a book.

We know what sins are because of what we learn, and what we percieve as wrong based on those teachings....so to sin is that moral battle within us......Sin to me, is when you do something to hurt another person, or to alter another living things life...if it is not an accident. I try not to do that. But in life I have, so its simply our own personal wants, over what we know to be right!!

If you don't believe it's because of 'original sin' like in religious texts then because people are self-serving without any care for how their actions impact on others.

disobedience to satisfy our own personal selfishness and to do without God.
Notice in Genesis when the serpent speaks to Eve,
"4 ... Ye shall not surely die:
5 for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." (Gen.3:4-5).
Basically that sums it, we want to be gods like God and so we sin by disobeying...
God bless

Only you know that. Sinning is subjective. It is also what theology or society shoves longitudinally down your throat since birth. Follow your conscience. If that fails, invoke the golden rule.
