St. Augustine defined sin as "a word, deed, or desire in opposition to the eternal law." Thus sin, by definition is against Someone - God.

Is being with someone who has a baby out of marriage against Christianity?

Premarital sex is a sin according to Christianity, but God realizes that people do not always do what we are instructed to do and He is forgiving. It would not be against Christianity to be with someone who has a baby out of marriage, but it would be against Christianity to continue to have sex outside of marriage now. Jesus told the adulterous woman to go and sin no more, and that is what would be expected in your situation.

What is sin against reason?

Sin against reason is a tent of believers in philosophia doctrine and has nothing to do with Sin as defined in Christian doctrine (sin against our Fathers law as given to Moses and proclaimed by his prophets as well as Christ and his apostles). Sin against reason is based in the use of dialectics by believers in philosophia doctrine, usually Stoic Philosophia doctrine. Believers base their belief of truth to be rooted in the logic and reason of dialectics.
