That Human describes a phyiological classification, one that does not account for behaivor or the principles that govern behaivor. In all soceity their are those who 'follow' the rules and those who do not. the word 'sin' describes those who do not. Which again points to all of us to one degree or another. However those who embrace their sin and do not seek redemption for it. rather they look to 'moralize' their sin then become Evil. The people who shot up Paris can be identified as Evil, because to them their 'sin' was justifiable in their version of morality.
So the question then becomes, if Stims wants to judge us all as simply human what is to be done to those in whom he classified and performing in-human acts? Nothing/keep pretending they are like everyone else who don't murder and kill? So they can prey on others again and again, giving more like minded people the courage to perform more and more in-humane acts. Or do they need to be punished somehow?
I don't understand the point of this post. You act as though Stimbo didn't already address this.
For my part, I avoid a loose usage of 'sin' since, to me, it is a meaningless concept outside of specific theistic belief systems.
