	sin, in religion. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		For Christians, the effect of sin may be twofold, since a sin is at once a rebellion against the omnipotent Creator, risking punishment (even hell), as well as a cause of the interruption of grace, a notion that was popularized in the Middle Ages, notably by the Cistercians in the 12th cent.
		The seven deadly, or capital, sins are pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth.
		The opposite of sin is virtue, but in Christian practice the opposite of sin is grace, i.e., the merits of Christ’s virtues given to humanity.

		Augustine’s Yahwistic, original sin premise is not true when we view it in relation to our contemporary concept of time and the accompanying scientific understanding of the universe.
		It is a vision of faith built on the Serpent premise, and the volumes of "creative mythology" representing the literary heritage of Western Civilization, from Homeric Greece to Faulknerian America, constitute its sacred scripture.
		And that body of "creative mythology," in contrast to the "traditional mythology" of the orthodox authority, provides Christianity for the 21st century with the authority it needs to match that of its Augustinian counterpart born in the fifth century.

		In ancient Iranian mythology, Ahura Mazda was the lord of light and wisdom, originally an equal to Mithra the god of light and justice, was elevated to the supreme being by the prophet Zoroaster.
