This question came about today because some of the members here have spoken about how morals are relative. Some hold deeply to their religion, some aren't very religious but are very moral, some like the dark side of everything and seek it out, and some (like myself) tend to be on the amoral side. But what really inspired me to make this poll was that some hold the view that certain morals are strict while others are relative. For example, one person said that murder, lust, and greed are all fixed wrong behavior in addition to any personal views on sin, and if you perform the said sinful actions, that it can screw with your magick and color your karma.

Lust was listed as a "fixed" sin, but personally, I don't find anything wrong with it. And I'm not a perv or sleezy guy at all or anything like that, rather, I truly believe that there is nothing wrong with carnal lust and acting on it. I can droningly say with my mouth "lust is wrong," but I don't truly feel this. I wonder what other sins people here feel is or is not "wrong" in the stereotypical sense.

I think all the deadly sins are just reflections of aspects in our human nature that the Catholic faith found to be undesirable, in the extreme sense, and so tried to quelch these inhibitions rather than stress moderation. Human nature cannot be denied. At least not in every single person. The church only proved this because there were still priests and nuns indulging in sin. The 7 deadly sins are only bad in the extreme sense where they become consuming passions that over ride the rest of our human nature; adversly affecting ourselves and those around us.
