    Right and wrong is one thing, sin is another. Sin is doing stuff that God says not to do, morality doesn’t really come into it. Cats can’t sin because they don’t have theistic religion.

      Defying an authority figure is not a sin. What if it tells you to do something bad, like slit your sons throat and burn the body? Defining sin as questioning authority is BS.

        That is precisely what differentiates sin from evil. It’s why we have two words for those two things. Abraham would not have sinned by killing Isaac as ordered. But it would have been an evil act, and stupid and insane

      Cats are their own gods. Letting them see the bottom of their food bowl is a mortal sin and you will burn in kitty hell for it.
