Ok thanks ![Smile Smile](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Well we have to interpret the word accurately or we could be talking about something completely different. The word is loaded with Catholic dogma most of which I find to be opposite of Christian teaching. Personally it's not a word I'd ever use.
I'd agree with the common definitions here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_views_on_sin
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sin
What I believe (in Christ) forms my thinking. A non believer uses different ideas to draw conclusions about the same things.
Where I say I don't want to hurt God or be apart for him; you, as a non believer, might say you don't want to do anything that would restrict your freedom or lessen your life quality.
So what in that would you disagree with? Is it just the dogma?
Of course Christ informs my morals. I use that as a centre because I think it's the best model.
Gotta go out now so I'll get back to you on the last question
