Sin has never been a bad word to me and I have never met anyone who had a problem with it.

The word "sin" itself is not a bad word.  It's also a word that describes what everyone of us have done, are doing, or will do, in the way of doing something deliberately that is wrong, and not conforming to a set standard for behavior.  Sin is sin, no matter what the action was, is, or will be.  

"Evil" is not necessarily "sin," because though we all sin, our sin may or may not be "evil."  Where sin involves behavior, evil involves more within the belief and behavior of a person, within their own character, and can include doing something that brings calamity or distress to others.  It could include immorality, being vile, perversion, deliberately doing things that are considered taboo, especially when bringing sorrow or danger to others.

You brought up a great topic for discussion!  :)

You know that if you sin, you are aware that you are doing wrong.  You should admit that you sinned and ask God to forgive you. :angel11: :angel12:

the word sin is just a word. However, a sinful act is bad. We were not born to sin. We were created by God to be saints on Earth.

I don't think it is a bad word in any sense.  I would say that it is unhelpful or needs to be translated/defined if you are attempting to communicate that idea to the general culture.  I don't think most people in North America have a very good understanding of the meaning of the word.

No, the word sin is not a bad word. Only the “F” word that is carried with negative intention to harm is a curse word to me.

I've never heard of "sin" being a curse word...Is it a thing in the religious community or something. That's weird.

"Sin" is a made-up religious concept with a ridiculous backstory, that's why I don't use it. "Evil" is more subjective, as nothing is inherently "evil" (it is a matter of opinion what we consider to be "good" and "bad").
"It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."

      It is not a bad word. It is a word to describe an action or a way of life for some people. It is reality in the real world. We all can learn from bad things in order to make the proper correction.

The word itself is not a "bad" word, however I agree with the other mention of if that's how you live your life, (in sin) then THAT is BAD!!!

Those that might find 'sin' to be a bad word are likely just plain uncomfortable when they hear it, brings up something they would rather not think about, like it convicts them and there actions a bit. Not a bad word to me at all, I am a sinner and I know it, always will be... but I am forgiven~~!!~~
