It does matter, because what you refer to as sin, is just your own interpretation of your own moral and ethical code.

Right, it doesn;t have anything to do with you or the OP, so neither of you have the ability or right to dictate to me that it doesn't exist. It'sa pointless thing to argue about.

Sin is just a throwaway term to describe bad behavior, based on someone or something—like scripture—else's projection.

Well, it's not throwaway since people adhere to it.

All there is is action and consequence and it has nothing to do with religion. That is the universal code or even law.

This is incorrect. There is no civilization on the planet that is living only by universal code. We follow rules that are codified and enforced. While the list for sin is far smaller than any given justice system's rule of law, both are things implemented to control behavior within a certain societal structure. Both are standards. Granted the religious one is the higher one, but it's also the one that is voluntary.

This is an open chat discussion thread, I have the right to inform you or dictate my opinion on any subject.

Who adheres to it, you? Are you now dictating what others should be doing, or what you want them to do? Most religions and laws do this. People still break rules. Some rules may be reasonable, some may be bulls<>t, but sin is a still a throwaway term, because it is just a label\tag created by the mind of man that DOES NOT EXIST. And don't tell me it does, just because the bible says so.

You have missed the point. I am not talking about man made rules based on scripture or law, but the rules of the universe overall. It is all action and consequence. That is how the universe operates and this does dictate to our lives. And while consequence could be a result of a written law in what we perceive as human life, it is still nothing but consequence due to action. It is only deemed as sin by religions, which is a delusion.
