In religious contexts, a sin is an act that violates God's will.[Need quotation to verify]
Many, though not all, crimes are also regarded as sins. Some sins are regarded as greater than others, and in this nuanced concept of sin, sins fall in a spectrum from least corrupt and evil to the greatest evil.[citation needed] In Catholicism, sins which are least corrupt are regarded as venial sins —such sins may be regarded as parts of human living, and carry little divine consequence. Conversely sins which are of great evil may be regarded as mortal sins —sins which are said to have the dire consequence of mortal penalty.
Sins of careless living are considered destructive and lead to greater sins according to the Seven Deadly Sins. Another concept of sin deals with those things which exist on Earth, but not in Heaven. Food, for example, while a necessary good for the (health of the temporal) body, is not of (eternal) transcendental living and therefore its excessive savoring is considered a sin.
Sins hated you to death
Retinas catch light thrown down from hell's mouth,
welcome home
You crushed me with deceit. Descent past all other sins
Your voice cant reach my heart anymore
Follow me down
Three faced beast, source of hate Weeping blood
Waist-deep in black ice
cast the deceiver of the bastard christ
From the center mouth so you can take you place
take pictures through my eyes Your eyes no longer move me
Fear my heights, call my name
Beat out of time Write me down
