Are you joking? Sin is constructed by dogma. We just see believers as silly!

Mmmm, no, the concept of "sin" was invented by religion, specifically Judaism, which led to the cults of Islam and Christianity.
Guilt and fear over having sinned against a mythical deity is the church's stock-in-trade. Like they say, where there is sin, there is guilt, where there is guilt, there's cash!

No because the whole definition of believeing in a higher force would be fake and therefore it wouln't matter if it was a sin or not. Morals would be erased and there isn't a need to distinguish between good or evil.

If atheists are right, that would make 'sin' a man-made construct. Sin would therefore be just an idea that doesn't reflect on any type of objective truth.

How would it make it a sin? What is a sin? I though the definition of a sin is something that god said not to do. No god, no sin. There would still be correct and incorrect, reasonable and not, but no sin.

No. First of all, right about what? Secondly, Atheists being non-believers in most of the christian theological mumbo jumbo certainly do not ascribe to the notion of 'sin'. That being said, it would make believing in god rather kinda hypocritical don't ya think?

Not really. Atheists do not believe in any kind of god. Therefore, if there is no god, there is no sin or other myths.

I didn't think that atheists believed in sin. I mean, there can't be an offense against god, if he doesn't exist.

Athiests don't believe in sin. It wouldn't mean anything. It would just mean your life was based around lies and myths. For some people, that works and gives them something to live for. Every person needs to live their life the way that works for them.

No, and your logic eludes me..If atheists are right..then I am wrong. and that is the end of the story. I have still lived a wonderful fulfilling happy life ..Then I guess atheists go to Heaven and I go to Hell happy? Did you even think about this one?

you have to have some kind of religion to believe in sin. If you believe in something having higher power and punishing you for your wrong doings then you would think of sin being something you have done wrong.
