Answer 11

Very subtle, my dear Watson...most people don't know this is the real interpretation of the word "Sin".... sin, was an archer's terms in bibical times.... and that's all it really meant was "to miss the mark"...that is until it became synononous with all the evil in the world...

Whenever you miss a basket playing basketball...fall short of that promotion.. over-pump at the gas-station, etc.. believe it or not you are sinning.

We've all missed the mark in life... the question then becomes of the harm we cause ourselves and others...are we doing it intentionally and with premeditation... if we're just making mistakes with a sincere intent to make improvents in the quality of our lives then others.. then more power to those people I say...

The problem I feel with Religion as it stands today, that people are more motivated to not-do something out of fear of punishment both temporal and eternal... where others some not-so-religious do things productively, constructively out of reasons to improve the qualities of our lives...wether they make minor mistakes along the way..they still put out effort..

If our motivation is out of fear and condemnation(missing the mark..a.k.a sin) and we choose to never act... that today might be worse then acting and falling short or missing the mark.  Shouldn't we all choose to be less motivated by the coercive tactics of fear self-imposed by self and that of authorities?
