I think that you probably do accept sin, you just use a different word for it.
We have to remember that our religious beliefs are attempts to explain things that are present in our very real lives. The explanations may be fanciful, but the item in question, not so much. Do you think that there may be some intrinsic or hereditary x that makes all human creatures fallible and compels us to wrong thought or wrong action?
GIA reckoned it was guys chasing girls..which is...well...meh, but we could include that in the list of things that are known to compromise human moral agency, at least. Competition for a limited (or perceived to be limited) resource. When a needful thing competes with a virtue making thing, does that have an effect on the virtue making thing, or are we..instead, consigned to choosing between a righteous suicide pact or a resignation to necessary evil? This choice is yet another play on the theme of felix culpa....and if it's starting to seem as though god and jesus are conceptual stand-ins acting out dramas of human agency....well..no shit, right?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
