As someone who has witnessed the very unsettling act of an orangutan male forcing himself on a very unwilling orangutan female, I don't believe the bottom left fits.

It fits if you know that what orangutans are doing is beyond sin. The don't partake in sin because they are the sin.
I like the grid, but I don't really understand how the animals are meant to be interpreted
Chimps are fuckin mercyless, I guess they aren't supposed to stand for anything besides what they are?
I don't really get in what they do or do not take part.
What is "sin"?
Talk to the bonobo about this one. They know all about it.
Na. It took me too long already to understand it's not about geometry.
The opposite over the hypotenuse
To be "sinful" is to act against your best interests.
Chimps and monkeys have been known to do BATSHIT INSANE stuff
To be "sinful" is to act against your best interests.
According to what definition?
Mine, I just gave it to you. Got a better one?
"Sin" is heavily religiously connotated. Any definition that does not include that context misses an important part.
Okay, incorporate that into a definition without showing favoritism to any one religion.
The central idea behind sin in all religions is what I said - acting against your own interest, i.e., what God wants for you
But what if what said god wants for me is against my own interest?
Ok - let's pretend we live in username irl. Who would win this contest?

Ooo, the catechism!
Sin is any want of conformity unto, or transgression of, the law of God. Westminster Shorter Catechism
Sin is an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience; it is failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a perverse attachment to certain goods. It wounds the nature of man and injures human solidarity. It has been defined as "an utterance, a deed, or a desire contrary to the eternal law." Catholic catechism
Sin is an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience
So, religion and faith are sin? Interesting lol
Sin is any want of conformity unto, or transgression of, the law of God. Westminster Shorter Catechism
Wait, is there something missing or am I not getting something? How can "wanting to conform to the law of god" be sin?
want meaning 'lack' in this context (e.g. 'found wanting')
