Sinning, as Jesus and the church say, is good. Turn or burn Christians.

Í don't accept the premise of 'sin' as usually represented in Christian theology.

I don't either and use evil when speaking of what we are all born to do to each other thanks to being evolving creatures.

That harming or doing evil to the losers of those competitions is what the loser must suffer.

Not a lot of harm these days with our safety nets, --- but in the old days when they had none,  --- you or I winning when we compete could have the loser starve to death.

Interesting.

If sin is used in that manner, that is as divorced from Christian theology's 'sin' as to put it on another planet, orbiting a different star, in another galaxy, at the other end of the Cosmos.

I acknowledge the term 'sin' in Gnostic Christianity then.

I usually use an analog of a particular instance from the opposite of compassion. I.e. acts of harm where they aren't warranted, while distinct from malevolence. In essence, an immoral act.

However, 'sin' used in this way is still an anthropomorphism, IMO. A quite useful one, though.
