Crime

Just as crime is defined by a society, the agreed upon decisions of which being manifested in the body of the Law, so sins are transgressions the nature of which are delineated by a society's religion. In other words, a sin is a crime of the soul. While the Law discriminates between proper and improper behaviour, the concept of sin is concerned with discriminating between Good and Bad. Neither code, societal correctness nor religious adherence, has any basis in, for lack of a better term, objective "reality." Both are born from collective compliance to some societal majority view of what it means to be "normal." Curious, then, that at it's heart, the term "psychopath" translates quite literally into what is generally understood by the term "(an) individual."
