Well there you go, you've just defined sin(lessness)
Not everyone has the same definition though - but if you're coming from a Christian-influenced culture, that's not far off the core meaning of sin in Christianity, just with an added "easier said than done"
Sin - a deed that sky fairy says is bad and you must jump through this sky fairy’s follwers’ hoops to divest yourself of it to remain in their and sky fairy’s favor. If you don’t, you don’t get to go to sky fairy’s happy place when you die.
Being a dick - no sky fairy involved. You’re just being a dick and need to make amends if you don’t want to be perceived as a dick, or just carry on being one. No divine retribution, no hoops to jump through for Elysium.
So, it's like if you smoke cigarettes next to a pregnant lady, and the sign on the wall says no smoking. If someone asks you to stop, are they currying favour with the wall-fairy? Or are you being a dick by passing smoke to the lady (even if you don't realise it's damaging her health).
Besides, if we're talking Christian belief, said sky fairy is the same who made you and the world you live in, not too mention a bunch of other credentials, so he has a bit more clout than your average pigeon.
And as to the followers' hoops: "the views expressed herein do not always represent the views of the management" (although they ought to, if followers are following well!)
I'm not from a religious background but I always thought sex before marriage is a sin, no? I'm not sure how in modern times sex before marriage between two consenting adults is being a dick.
Sin isn't real. Live your life however you want without being a dick to others
