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>Was taken aback, Adres couldn't believe of what he just heard; a name of a certain group so daunting that it held no dandy amongst the communal living, as it imprinted no gentle memories to those who had been dealing with such an inhumane group in the past. And yet, that witch-disguised devil could speak of that name seemingly so lightly. Perhaps because of the lack of breeze gliding across the golden and brown field; the lack of whiff of the recently-harvested wheat to whistle inside his ears that he could hear such a name clearly out of those lips of hers…</p>

<p>…hence he knew she wasn't joking at all, yet he needed still to make sure he heard that one wrong, "That's quite a name you just revealed, Miss Erynew. Are you sure you did not mistake them for common thugs trying to disrupt the festival over illegal betting?"</p>
