7 sins

[BikerDude]

The 7 deadly sins are
"Wrath", "Avarice", "Sloth", "Pride", "Lust", "Envy", and "Gluttony".

2 parts.
Which if any of the 7 deadly sins does the dude suffer?
Clearly sloth is beyond debate.

And

Which do you suffer from.


Personally my life is like a giant pool of all 7.

[not_exactly_a_lightweight]

I'm not comfortable with the word Avarice, is that like vagina?

[RevWade]

it's only a sin if you see something bad about it, and I see nothing wrong with taking it easy.

that said, I might have to say pride

[greatspiritmonk]

I don't think lust is a sin, is it? 

[not_exactly_a_lightweight]

lust can be a zesty enterprise, not a sin.

and what about #8, letting your toe slip over a little? That apparently could be deadly. Who made this list?
Also missing is turning on the oven on shabbas. I think this list could be expanded. Where would rug-pissing fit in?

[greatspiritmonk]

And what about that 8 yo thing?

[not_exactly_a_lightweight]

Do you understand english?
Parla usted Inglese? I'll say it again. 
Did I urinate on your rug?

[greatspiritmonk]

No sir, Woo peed on my rug.
Anyway pederasts should be sentenced for life, automatically. In a beautiful place like Siberia.

[Matt the Walrus]

I'm not comfortable with the idea of sin. Sin implies a strict moral order imposed by a higher being. Like, if I jerk off I'm going to Hell because I'm murdering my sperm and dead sperm makes Baby Jesus cry. I don't want to make Baby Jesus cry, but sometimes... ah, I'm rambling again.

But seriously, The problem I have with some of the 7 deadly sins is that some of them are actions rather than feelings. I mean, seriously, I get a go directly to Hell card if I feel envious? Or proud? You can't help how you feel sometimes, but you can control how you act. That's what matters.

I just had a thought. I'm not well versed in Christianity but isn't the concept of the 7 deadly sins pretty old testament? And in the old testament is God not portrayed as a wrathful god? So... like... how does that work? Serious question.

"You can't help how you feel sometimes, but you can control how you act. That's what matters."

I think this sentence goes right at the target. Fucking A, man.

You should be right though, 7 sins should be Old Testament thing, the book written to allow slaying everyone who didn't agree. But there should be a list of deadly behaviours:
pederasts,
polluters,
vivisectionists,
fur farmers-traders-furriers,
those fucking fundamentalists who think that religion is a good reason to kill others,
.....

You can't help how you feel sometimes, but you can control how you act. That's what matters.

I have no problem with that statement, I would just like to add that it is possible to control how you feel. With a little practice, I have learned this most beneficial coping skill.

Also, keeping unclean thoughts in your mind eats at your soul, if you have one. Hatred, envy, misdirected lust, such thoughts can be banished. I don't believe that we are all defenseless against the tyranny of our own thoughts.

[greatspiritmonk]

And Nihilists. 

[Bartender]

What about threatening castration!  Are we gonna split hairs here?

[Duderetto]

And keeping amphibious rodents...
