You know that there are sins in the Bible other than "not asking for forgiveness," so this argument is a completely disingenuous attempt to save face.
What face am I trying to save, exactly? Ok, so let's accept that the 'sin of Adam' is covered by AoA and that we're speaking of other sins. You're still left with the inconvenience of sin as a transgression against the prison governor. Remove the governor, remove the basis for sin. He's the one with the problem against what the inmates get up to. It's like the old joke about the guy complaining about all the hardcore porn that comes through his door; when his neighbour says that he's never had that problem, the guy says, "Yes, but you don't subscribe."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
