New sins!

ang_rosin: (Default)
The Catholic church has decided that there's not enough guilt in the world and added seven new deadly sins, so called because the unrepentent or unabsolved go straight to hell without passing go and not in possession of a get out of hell free card. I haven't done particularly well on the original seven, breaking at least three at least weekly, but lets see how I do with the new sins...

Environmental pollution - I drive. That's me failing on the first one.
Genetic manipulation - I've a degree in genetics and an early career working on DNA repair methods on fungi treated with mutagens. Two down.
Accumulating excessive wealth - I can safely say that I've never had a problem with this.
Inflicting poverty - Or this.
Drug trafficking and consumption - Is alcohol a drug?
Morally debatable experiments - I'm not entirely sure what this means. I think it's to do with reproductive medicine and as I've taken birth control pills in my youth...
Violation of fundamental rights of human nature - or is this the birth control one?

I can't believe the church made their new sins so obtuse. The first list was *punchy*: ANGER, LUST, GLUTTONY, PRIDE, SLOTH, ENVY!

EDIT: Oops. Forgot GREED!
