Is it Sin that makes one a sinner?
Or is it Kin that makes one a sinner?

Many say we are born innocent and untainted, and yet in Sin we are all related to one another. For we are one Kin, and with this Sin we share that we are born with. And even a certain doctrine holds that one's Kin, through the fact of birth, inherit a tainted nature with a proclivity to sinful conduct in need of regeneration…

"I was brought forth in iniquity, and in Sin did my Mother conceive me."
…or so the doctrine says,

"We are all born sinners because of Kin that brings us together."
…and so we think: we are born with Sin inherited from our Kin,

But, should that hold us back from acting with virtue?
No, we should not hold back, even when Sin entered the world through one Kin, and Death through Sin, and in this way, Death came to all beings, because all sinned,

But even so, we all have freedom to be a being we want when we embrace Death,
To be a fraudulent Human,
To be a violent Angel,
To be a benevolent Devil,

And what one wants to be, neither "Sin" nor "Kin" should define what "Self" one is going to be, let "Journey" instead that defines one "Self"

Sin of Kin

<p>Depiction of devotion; it was the allusion, which had been long since ameliorated from the idea of natural rightfulness, to an image of seemingly flawless beings bearing the name and self-sufficient existences of all that was beyond perfect—at least 'perfect' to which humans' minds and consciences were capable of fathoming so—for they were desperate for the existence of such beings; believing there were some higher forces involved in their and their world's imperfect and sometimes amoral existence, that it wasn't a mere coincidence but an intervention of higher hence divine forces; involved in their and their world's creation, of all aspects creation. They believed, therefore, that such higher beings bearing higher forces were high in the endless layers of boundless skies; up there ostensibly hanging to decorate and to shine their most glorified twinkling lights, as well as to bless and to watch over as the ever-present Stars forming beatific constellations…</p>
