Yay, more deadly sins!
Via K, I learn that the the Vatican has apparently doubled the number of Deadly Sins. Sloth and gluttony will have to make room for new friends such as "genetic modification" and "becoming obscenely wealthy."
Hooray! This brings the percentage of deadly sins I've committed down from 100% all the way to 64%!

Call me old fashioned, but doesn't "envy, gluttony, greed, lust, wrath, sloth and pride" sound a bit more poetic than "genetic modification, carrying out experiments on humans, polluting the environment, causing social injustice, causing poverty, becoming obscenely wealthy and taking drugs"?
Well, Shakespeare is dead, I guess.

Oh, the old sins are being replaced, by the way.
So sloth away.

Aren't these all now in the public drinking water?

I'm a little thrown by the fact that sadness was ever a deadly sin. Doesn't that seem a little odd?

I noticed that too, K. Very odd. Were Christians not allowed to grieve?

No wonder Cathlocism never caught on with Republicans. I mean, if they can't become obscenely wealthy by tranferring middle class tax dollars to themselves and their friends, what's the point of living?
