ohhhh the anvil was good, but a bit irony

Polluting, genetic engineering, obscene riches, taking drugs, abortion, pedophilia and causing social injustice join the original seven deadly sins defined by Pope Gregory the Great in the sixth century: pride, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, wrath and sloth.

God was offended not only by stealing, blaspheming or coveting your neighbour's wife but by ruining the environment, conducting immoral scientific experiments and genetic manipulation.

i guess i missed the memo

PS: if this is in the wrong section, please relocate

No!
We already have trouble coping with the old sins.

They now added new ones!

 

[eltherza]

Wonder if they only apply to catholics...

 

[Highflyer_GP]

Obscene riches? Haha Are they offended that there are people who are capable of screwing over more people and making more money than them?

 

[PostmanPot]

So after all these years, God has communicated with us again?

Somehow these lack the succinct style of the originals.

taking drugs

When will they be starting their campaign against alcohol?

Se7en was a pretty good movie, but I think that these new sins offer some real cinematic opportunities.

Hmm, by my count I'm busy with six of the fourteen sins right now.

Though some of them are really easy, I mean you don't even have to *do* anything to be guilty of the sin of laziness.

Arrgh chiskop, I was just gonna ask "Se7en II?" .

 

[chiskop]

Yeah, it's all a marketing ploy.

No doubt that is the problem!

Yes, he certainly did!

And in modern terms as well!LOL

 

[BT6LW]

how obscenely rich is the catholic church exactly?

I suppose it only applies to the lesser animals

 

[Pooky]

When will they be starting their campaign against alcohol?

They like alcohol.

 

[chiskop]

Yeah, but that doesn't account for the pedophilia thing.


I keeed, I keeed.

The Catholic church is the richest entity in the world.

Tithes.

Also the reason for being against birth control.

They are getting millions more Catholics each year.

A never ending supply!

If the sins were updated, does it mean we are now free to enjoy the original seven ?!!

Somehow i do not think we will be that lucky!

Polluting is now a deadly sin?? Does this mean that catholics are no longer allowed to fart?

BTW - what makes these sins deadly?
