So, I don't know how many people know this, but the Pope has made a more modernized list of the "Seven Deadly Sins". The classic sins are lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride.
Now I'm not hardcore religious or anything, but I found what he's saying to be, well, interesting. This list itself hasn't been updated for a good fifteen hundred years or so, and I guess it was time for a change.
So evil-do'ers and no-goodin's prepare! Here is the new list of the naughties!
Environmental pollution
Genetic manipulation
Accumulating excessive wealth
Inflicting poverty
Drug trafficking and consumption
Morally debatable experiments
Violation of fundamental rights of human nature
First of all, you have to know how the sins work, if you confess your sins before you die, Jesus, the cool dude he is, will forgive you and allow you into heaven. Otherwise, you go to hell.
Now, this is all done in good intention and all....but it got me a thinkin'. Lets breakdown my thought process.
Environmental pollution -- Well duh. I can agree with this one, but this now means that anytime some hardcore catholic gets into their car or flicks a cigarette ash onto the ground, people will be lining up down the street and up the block for confession! If they're serious about entering the golden gates, they are going to have to appologise to a priest for EVERY time they do...well...anything.
Genetic manipulation -- Okay, I get it. Genetic advancements is like evolution...only faster. and Evolution is a no-no in the cross-wearin' society. But, what if someone genetically alters a crop that will survive drought and will need no pesticides and will flourish in under-developed countries and feed THOUSANDS of starving people? They're going to go to hell?! wtf? Thats Saint-worth status right there!
Accumulating excessive wealth -- Alright, I kinda agree with this one. No one needs as much money as Bill Gates or Ms. J. K. Rowling. But...the Queen...does that mean...she's going to hell? Good to know, It'll be fun to party with the ol' hag!
Inflicting poverty -- How does one exactly "inflict" poverty on someone? Explain that one first, and then maybe I'll have something to say.
Drug trafficking and consumption -- hahaha! the world is fucked! I'm just imagining a line up of stoners and dealers waiting outside of a church to get a blessing...then to steal the holy water to use in their bong. hahaha!
Morally debatable experiments -- AKA anyone who took a highschool biology class and had to disect something to see what its insides looked like...is going to hell. woot! come and join the bandwagon!
Violation of fundamental rights of human nature -- Also known as things such as 'abortion'. Now this is a sticky subject that I'm not going to rant about in my bloggy, but, everyone who knows me knows my opinion on abortion ("rape me! rape me!") and knows how I feel about it.
So I welcome you all to this generations New Seven Deadly Sins. They're keeping the old sins too, so now we have 14.
I don't know about any of you guys...but I'll be seein' ya'll in hell.
