The original seven deadly sins are a little long in the tooth (no shit!?) so today the Vatican released a list of seven deadly sins for “our times”. The new list includes the following:
“…genetic modification, carrying out experiments on humans, polluting the environment, causing social injustice, causing poverty, becoming obscenely wealthy and taking drugs…”
So I could live like a saint and just because I didn’t put my glass bottles in the blue bin I would go to hell? That is the most asinine thing I have ever heard. How does any rational person believe this cartload of horse shit?
How much is “obscenely wealthy”? I think this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. The Vatican itself is estimated to be worth somewhere between $10 billion and $15 billion. If that isn’t obscene wealth I don’t really know what is.
