There you have it. If you can see good and evil in cooperation, then your previous statement -when we cooperate, there is no harm, lose, sin or evil-
cannot be true. It is not an issue of logical and reasoned fact.
Sin, otoh, is present whether we do good or evil. It's the x that makes us contemplate wrong behavior or engage in wrong thought even as we do the right thing, and even if we never act on it. I don't agree with your ideas about cooperation and competition as good and bad making properties - but the beauty of sin as a concept is that it's metric neutral. Sin is not competition...sin would be the thing that compels you to compete when you could cooperate. Sin is the x that makes it difficult for you to see opportunities to cooperate.
