You broke it down pretty well, so I'll clarify my comment.<BR/><BR/>I didn't say that all seven deadly sins were represented. My point was that the category of "deadly sin" was simply interpreted to fit the modern age; that's a point someone else has already made.<BR/><BR/>To respond to someone else: I don't, either, make the claim that good and "non-sinful" are the same thing, especially as that weighs in on an individual's understanding or relativistic definition of "good."<BR/><BR/>Others rather insultingly attacked my person, and so I shall ignore them, other than to say that there is a gross ignorance and misunderstanding of not to mention a cheerful apathy towards what the Church actually stands for throughout the world. <BR/><BR/>Bloggers and the media --- as they, as someone has said, were the ones who applied the "new seven deadlies" label --- are obviously no exception. Unfortunately, it seems, commenters here aren't, either. <BR/><BR/>Atheists love their bigotry to the exclusion of everyone else's, and the Internet is full of both. Take offense to this only if it fills you with worldly and faux-righteous indignation. <BR/><BR/>If you should take offense to this, either you already have or you're laughing at me for writing something that looks so misguided to you. <BR/><BR/>For those of you keeping score at home, note that I mentioned no names in my own bout of ad hominem.<BR/><BR/>http://awaitingtenure.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32362118.post-79280931803513020822008-03-14T15:51:00.000-05:002008-03-14T15:51:00.000-05:00@ huffypuffin' anonymous:awwww. you poor thing. so...@ huffypuffin' anonymous:<BR/>awwww. you poor thing. someone is poking fun at your antiquated and antihuman religion.<BR/><BR/>you should make like the extremist muslims over in europe and go on a flagburning crusade against western freedom of thought! that always makes them feel better. <BR/>i bet it'll make the Church even more popular, too. go ahead, stick your sister in a burkha. you'll feel right at home. bloviating fundamentalist religious types FTW!<BR/><BR/>the funny bit about this new-sins crap is that it's a transparent ploy by the church to seem humanistic and up-to-date, while they continue to deny the basic rights to birth control and non-breeder lifestyles that would lead to some amount of real improvement in the world situation. it *would be* amusing, i should say, if it weren't so pathetic. <BR/><BR/>good on you, jess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32362118.post-36161167825726392052008-03-14T05:36:00.000-05:002008-03-14T05:36:00.000-05:00Ironically, the same christian conservatives who a...Ironically, the same christian conservatives who are so deeply offended that a humorous index card has supposedly insulted their religion like to say what dangerous extremists muslims are when they get upset about cartoons of Mohammed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32362118.post-62569078712672125172008-03-13T16:24:00.000-05:002008-03-13T16:24:00.000-05:00lol you should preview your comments before you po...lol you should preview your comments before you post themAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32362118.post-73353796280307023542008-03-13T16:15:00.000-05:002008-03-13T16:15:00.000-05:00^^oops i forgot the 's' in she and she'll, damn^^oops i forgot the 's' in she and she'll, damnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32362118.post-66200224511329229352008-03-13T16:12:00.000-05:002008-03-13T16:12:00.000-05:00This is something that has always bothered me abou...This is something that has always bothered me about self righteous northern liberal, you go down to Brownsville and beg and scrape for the Hispanic vote, then immediately turn around and ridicule our Catholic beliefs.

"It isn't even 7 NEW flavors, just different versions of the old ones. Weak." -- is referring to the fact that the "7 new sins" are a re-interpretation of the old major sins, just like they made a similar list for 'sins of car-drivers'. They are not (never do?) "write" new sins, they just reinterpret the old ones in ways relevant to modern life.

It does this, and incidentally creates unimaginable human tragedy, by opposing sex ed and basic prophylactics in HIV-riddled, overpopulated parts of Africa.<BR/><BR/>The first two, by the way, are not "in contention", but are unequivocally wrong and evil, especially when you consider that B covers "questionable experimentation", like "altering DNA". Considering that bio-engineering is the only realistic hope we have of feeding the world's hungry, that's a tremendously ignorant thing to condemn. Norman Borlaug saw this reality in the early sixties, and saved countless people in Asia and Africa (some say a billion) by engineering new wheat strains and farming procedures. By this archaic belief system, he'll burn in hell for it.<BR/><BR/>Nice job, Vatican!<BR/><BR/>(Sorry for the rant, Jessica, but thank you for sharing your work.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32362118.post-41565663870949414262008-03-12T15:30:00.000-05:002008-03-12T15:30:00.000-05:00This is beyond funny.

How extreme is to think that this is insulting, I mean, why B.Baxter assumes that all that is NOT good must become a sin? Is not a Capital sin too much of an attribute to a conduct such as pollutinbg the environment. Smoking is, technically speaking, polluting, but should it be catalogued as sinful? CAPITALLY??? How very peculiar thought it would be by the church and its followers.In any event, for all those acts to be deemed inappropriate I did not need to listen form the church. <BR/>The charts by INDEXED are always genial.
