In "Speaker for the Dead" by Orson Scott Card, a character named Styrka expresses confusion about the concept of sin, suggesting that speakers, like himself, do not acknowledge its existence. Andrew, the other character, counters this notion by pointing out that Styrka's actions are influenced by his belief in sin, which implies its reality for him. This exchange highlights the idea that personal beliefs shape one's understanding of concepts like sin. Andrew emphasizes that regardless of a speaker's theoretical stance, the internal struggle with morality and sin is an inherent part of the human experience, suggesting that belief in sin can manifest in behaviors and choices.
