No.
The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work 100 percent of the time?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case and we are perfect creations of a perfect God then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.

Depends how you define "sin" and by what particular standard you measure human worth.
You are always viewed as a "sinner" by one or more groups no matter how just a life you lead. If you don't adhere to their particular view then you are considered such.
Since it is impossible for you to adhere to all of them then you will always be categorized as a sinner for some and so forth.

We all are..
@ Don H
I totally agree with you...
I enjoy very much this episode from The Simpsons where Lisa accidentally creates a race out of a tooth and some soda.
The question that everyvody asks are just a reflection of what we are (why did you make me fat?).
I like to think that God created us within imperfection for us to become perfect. But that would be just a cruel game from God, wouldn't it? And so... God would be ceased to be the perfect image that religion tells us God is, and start to be the little boy burning ants with a magnifying glass.
This is so complicated... I hope someday we will find answers.

Sure, I misunderstand and miss the mark often. I'm getting closer every day to clearer understanding and action, but I do misunderstand and miss the mark. That is what the term sin translates to in Greek and Hebrew if you look them up.
We all misunderstand and miss the mark. Regardless of whether we think we are spiritual religious or otherwise.

Yes, and I have no intention of dying on my knees begging forgiveness either. I enjoy being a sinner, I freely admit to it, and if your faith holds true I will so see all my old friends when I get to hell. Other wise, my faith holds very little of your so called sin. However if it works for you than by all means, enjoy.
