Crime: a commentary

Just as crime
Is defined by a society, it's agreed upon decisions 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 or 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 as what is generally understood by the term "(an) individual."
