The 7 Deadly Sins..., What is sinful to you? Options

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.

93,

Are you a Christian? Only a Christian can throw scripture at me like that, show a strong dislike for the Catholic Church, and accept the false Lucifer-myth as fact.

Wrong. I was mulling it over in my head for some time as to whether or not this deserved its own thread, but the first of the ten commandments is the MOST misinterpreted verse in the entire Bible. The first commandment says "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

According to this verse, God does allow us to worship other gods... as long as he is first among them. Here's how I know (it's so simple it's stupid): the first commandment says "Thou shalt have any gods BEFORE me;" it does not say "Thou shalt have not other gods EXCEPT me." For litterally thousands of years Christians and Jews have misinterpreted this verse, especially Christians, to think that that verse ment exclusivity to God. Abraham worshipped the Sun, Moon, and Stars, but he paid his greatest homage to God and God respectd that.

So true, but then he would fall into the pride category. After all, Lucifer allegedly wanted to be first and god gave him the boot. Any diety that demands to be worshipped FIRST and FOREMOST is prideful at the least.

Wrong. You're confusing two words.

Envy -- wanting something that belongs to another. Covetousness.

Jealousy -- wanting to keep what already belongs to oneself.

So what does god want to keep? I mean, if he has everything, or at least has the potential to have everything, then what does god (who is alledgedly omnipotent) have to worried about being deprived of?

This was more of looking over creation in its splendor rather than being lazy, not unlike a carpenter looking over a mansion he just finished building while sitting in a lawn chair having a beer.

In truth this would be unnecessary, since he already knew exactly what the world was going to look like.

Also, did god himself come down to visit his wrath upon those he hated? No. He had his sheeple do it for him.

The angels weren't made in his image, the djinn weren't, the animals weren't, the plants weren't-- we are the only creations to ever be fashioned in his image, and we're likely the last. It's more of a unique gift to us rather than pride. Besides, he calls us his children, and don't children look like their parents?

Actually, if you think about it, the angels looked so much like god that Nebachadnezzar said that the one that appeared in the furnace looked "like the son of God".

Feast = celebration. You also eat from the Tree of Life to grow stronger spiritually. And where in the Bible does it say that gluttony is a sin?

Gluttony is folly. Sin and folly are the same thing, as sin literally means "to miss (the mark)". If you believe otherwise, then you might as well say that a drunken hobo on the street who is mad all the time, and is very proud of himself, is'nt a sinner.

This is twisted semantics and calling it "proof" while looking at only one side. It was every girl's greatest dream to be mother of the Messiah. If Mary did not want to bear the Messiah, God would not force it on her. There is this little thing called "free will" that God honors. It's why we have war

Mary was "the chosen mother of Christ", she couldnt of said no, or who know's what that sicko would've done, besides she was what, 14 years old? And i wouldnt say that every woman wanted the responsiblilty of being the mother of god's son.
