RE: What Exactly Are Sins?
Offences against God. In other words, imaginary.

Wrongdoing, on the other hand, involves offences/injuries to actually existing beings.

Fun stuff. Apparently god hates people having a good time. I mean what if my neighbour has a really great ass why Wouldn't I covet it.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

eating figs

menstruating in church

divorcing

remembering the Amelekites

forgetting to have your minister look at your rash

not remembering all scripture is suitable

failing to smite fig trees

considering the sabbath to be anything other than sunset Friday to sunset Saturday

believing pi is anything other than 3

praying in public

revisiting your vomit

tattoos

forgetting that the human soul is conveyed via the breath

masturbating goats



you get the idea: don't piss off god
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Human nature, criminalised.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Like many words, "sin" has more than one meaning, which one can easily see from looking it up in a dictionary:

An offense against god is the first meaning listed at the above link, but the word can simply mean 'wrongdoing,' as one can see from the second definition at the above link.

Sins, or sinners, are people or things that live in the Sin desert.

Exodus 16:1 (CEB) =  The whole Israelite community set out from Elim and came to the Sin desert, which is located between Elim and Sinai. They set out on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had left the land of Egypt.
