Sin is defined as “doing what is wrong, or not doing what is right according to God's rules”; this definition is clearly based on religion. The definition of “sin” in the modern society is probably defined as doing something that the majority of the society think is wrong. My definition is similar to the modern society’s definition because I do not have religious beliefs. In the religious realms, god decides what is considered a sin and what is not. If god tells you not to lie, and you lie, then you have sinned. The definition of sin is different for people with and without a religious belief. Many things done by religious people are considered a sin for themselves, but may not be considered a sin for others. For example, lying is not considered a sin by non-religious people because the law doesn’t say it’s a sin. Many religious people refer to the bible when it comes to the issue of sinning, and their lifestyles are often stricter than ours. When it comes to describing whether or not that you have done, or witnessed something considered as sin, I think I have not sinned, because various acts considered as sin in modern culture is written by the law, and up to today I have not broken the law yet. I am also not old enough to witness something truly described as sin. If I’m a religious person, the answer to the question above is probably both a “yes”, because it is almost impossible not to lie, and unlikely that you will never see someone else lie.
