Webster's defines sin as 1) an offense against religious or moral law, 2) an action
that is, or is felt, to be highly reprehensible, 3) an often serious shortcoming, i.e. a
fault, and 4) transgression of the law of God.

Sin, then, isn't restricted to the sphere of religion. Violations of any ethical code--
e.g. rules, laws, standards, or traditions; whether natural, man-made, or divine--
any imperfection, even a sports foul --counts as sin.

So-- in this confusing world of ours --right and wrong, good and bad, righteous and
unrighteous, fair and unfair, just and unjust, guilt and innocence are debatable and
sin is defined by whoever happens to be in charge whether in religion, education,
finance, criminal justice, politics, science, the military, labor unions, social
networking, etc, etc.
