Infinite Existence: Beyond the Concept of Sin

Amidst the abyss of reason, I stand,
Skeptic, doubter of divine hand.
In a world devoid of gods and sin,
What's left is mere existence, meaningless, thin.

For centuries, we've heard the tales of woe,
Of sin and shame, of pain and sorrow.
But what is sin? A word, an idea,
A myth, a legend, a tale, a fear?

In Dante's Inferno, we see the souls,
Of sinners doomed to eternal holes.
But who decides what's sin, what's not?
Is it the priest, the pope, the holy lot?

The Bible, the Quran, the Gita, the Vedas,
All speak of sin, in different flavors.
But who wrote them, who edited the scripts?
Were they divinely inspired or mere man-made tips?

To sin is to violate a moral code,
But who defines what's moral, who's bestowed?
The church, the state, the society?
Or is it just an arbitrary authority?

In the Garden of Eden, Eve ate the fruit,
And sin entered the world, a fatal pursuit.
But was it a sin to seek knowledge, to explore?
Or was it a sin to obey, to adore?

The concept of sin is a tool of control,
A way to manipulate, to cajole.
The guilty conscience, the fear of hell,
Are the weapons of the clergy's spell.

But I refuse to be bound by their chains,
To be a puppet of their moral reigns.
I'll make my own choices, my own rules,
And face the consequences, like a fool.

For sin is just a word, a social construct,
A way to judge, to discriminate, to deduct.
But I won't be judged by their standards,
I'll live my life on my own terms.

So let the religious condemn me to hell,
For in my heart, there's no such tale to tell.
I'll embrace the void, the dark abyss,
For in it, I find my own bliss.
