What we do bro defines who we are. When we commit sins, we become sinners. See? Our sins define us as sinners.
Our identity still remain -- we're still beings endowed with reason, self-awareness, creativity, conscience -- but we also become the persons we choose to become, we become the products of our decisions.
There is no such thing as good or bad in Spirituality. There is only what works and what doesn't work. I will give you an example. For you as Catholic you consider SUICIDE as bad and mortal sin but for others it is not. When you go to Japan, Suicide for most of these people are considered honorable for them and to their religion! See? That is relative!
Didn't you acknowledge that objective moral values exist?
