Believing in Sin, a Question of Religiosity.

The prophet Moses went up the mountain and received the Ten Commandments given to him by the God Yahweh. Later, other laws were created for the social control of those people. In this way, sin is understood as a transgression of the laws. In the same way, if you commit a crime, you transgress the law. Therefore, not sinning is the same as not transgressing the laws in force in contemporary society.
Imagine Moses coming down the mountain and saying that he himself was the one who made the commandments... If you believe, great, but there are those who do not believe and we must respect each person's right to think.

 In the religion of Ifa, Eshu can recommend to the consultant during a divination, that he makes a sacrifice to be successful, as for success, this becomes dependent on his faith, on believing and offering to achieve the objective.

 This fact does not mean that it is a crime (a sin) not to offer the sacrifice, but rather a lack of faith. Faith, not sin, is the basis of the Ifa religion. The moral code was gradually established in Yoruba society, primarily by the kings.
