The nature of god is good and everything else is evil. Sin is acting against gods will. God can sin.

It's a rehabilitation. It's not at all what the people who came up with the story believed. One of my favorite bits in either magic book goes like so.
To them, god could do anything. There is no limit. God can do impossible things to the impossible creatures it made. How can we hope to overcome a god if we can't even fight back a dragon?
Call me crazy, but if an entity like that is going to throw someone into the pit there really isn't much that we lowly human worms can do about it. Stop worrying and learn to love the bomb.
