In Hindusim there is no concept of sin. It is only for christians. Spare us.

The idea is that in hinduism there is no sin per say. If you do a bad deed, you accumulate bad karma. Then how is karma different from christian concept of sin? Bad karma can be cancelled only thru good karma, thru charity or service to other people or devotion. This can happen over several births. When you accumulate enough good karma, you get mukti and are out of the birth-death cycle.

In christianity, you commit sins and irrespective of how serious the sins are, your sins are "deleted" as soon as you accept christ as your lord/ or confess to your sins and seek forgiveness. And you are free to commit your next set of sins and you can trust your "lord" to be forgiving. Like that albino monk in Da Vinci code, who kills, prays and is good as new to kill again! <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
