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>There was a stature of a witch walking in front of them as they followed her from behind—a petite stature of a young witch who was a bit shorter and had somewhat a smaller frame than the brunette half-up ponytail following the witch from behind alongside the dreadlocks-haired man. And the witch's features, the two of them now could tell in more detail… for the witch's face was no longer shaded in a white mask, and hair no longer shrouded beneath the dark brown hood as the witch freely let it play and sway along the slight breeze that came along languidly…</p>
