To be "sinful" is to act against your best interests.

"Sin" is heavily religiously connotated. Any definition that does not include that context misses an important part.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Okay, incorporate that into a definition without showing favoritism to any one religion.

The central idea behind sin in all religions is what I said - acting against your own interest, i.e., what God wants for you

But what if what said god wants for me is against my own interest?
