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.

The seven deadly sins are always a fun topic.
Greed, is my “favorite” concept sin. It would be hard to say that there is anything we do that is not based on greed. We donate based on greed. We want to not see suffering, so we donate. Or we volunteer to feel good about ourselves.

For early Christians, these where the sins that required confession in order to be absolved of them.

In today’s world they hold little place, in those times…a lot more place, it also probably had to do with the fact that the early Christians where now the state religion of the Roman empire, and people who knew next to nothing of the teachings of Christ where claiming to be Christian. So a simple list of 14 do’s and don’ts was probably a good thing. Also a reason to get people to come to church (get the fat merchants to donate). At this time there where not many churches in small villages, the small remote villages still adhered to the old state gods in many cases. So the church needed a way for the people to know (this is a good time to come to the city) to purify your sins.

With most church doctrines, it is a response to the times. Then they stay in place, because you do not want to undo the work of someone who now dead 400 years+ was a Saint.

It is funny to judge things as time is getting more compressed, more life style changes happened in the last 100 years then perhaps in all of recorded history. Yet for the most part our laws are based on principles from Roman times or revolutionary war times.

It is true people have not changed that much, the human experience has not changed too much. But when you consider the amenities provided in the standard middle class household today. To equal them you had to be among the top 5 richest people in the world.

The levels of entertainment, education, expertise, climate control, food supply and diversity, medical care, clothing. Would really have required an army of servants, and given comparative scales it can be argued that the modern middle class person lives better.

So with that said, remember to judge these things based on the times they happened, not based on the current world standards.
