Seeing as "sin" is basically anything Yahweh doesn't like, then any free willed person will inevitably "sin". also it can be safely stated that he doesn't "sin", simply because no one can make him do anything he doesn't want to do. So it doesn't really have much to do with good or evil. Just a self centered deity who doesn't like it when people try to live their own lives without him.

Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
