While we may not agree on religion, I'm sure we all agree that no one is perfectly good and none of us have never done anything wrong.
I may not be able to say I've never done wrong, but I can say I've never sinned. Not once, ever.
Sin is simply the religious term used for an act that is wrong. If we both agree that no person is perfectly good, we have more in common than you'd think. Regardless of whether i call it original sin or not.

let's correct this statement
That's it's a fact we all can act in ways that are against values . That neither entails sin . Nor is the imperfection of human moral reasoning
Again, this is just a difference in semantics and terminology. When we get down to it, the fact is we agree on the basic principle here.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
