Slaggis Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 The Pope has come up with an all new list of "7 Deadly Sins". These are: 1. "Bioethical" violations such as birth control 2. "Morally dubious" experiments such as stem cell research 3. Drug abuse 4. Polluting the environment 5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor 6. Excessive wealth 7. Creating poverty Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I agree with number 3. Number 4 is a joke. How does the pope thing these new sins will reach people? Carved into a stone tablet and delivered on horseback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 What happened to killing people is it okay now? haha Polluting the environment? Can't always be helped. (Although I know in some cases it can!) excessive wealth? As annoying as it is people do sometimes actually earn their excessive wealth :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fish Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 How about... 8. Not constricting the liberty of human beings. +30 respect points. The first one is basically saying "hate me if you don't want to either have loads of kids or an STD!" ...and it was so! Also, how the fuck is stem cell research morally dubious? They can now to it without harming the embryo. The only thing dubious here is the massive problem catholics have with it. Oh, and I find denying people with Parkinson's disease the possibility of an infinitely better life on the grounds the "the older, more difficult and therefore no longer used method of gathering stem cells damaged an embryo, and therefore the new, harmless method is evil" very, very morally dubious. He's a blatant Apple-lover: Bill Gates is now evil! And people don't seem to get what I have against the pope... The ones that people agree with (drug abuse, widening the poor-rich divide, and creating poverty) are all things humanists have been saying for years, if only as humanism is, in a way, the oldest moral/ethical system there is. Oh, and not excessively polluting is common sense... To stick with the trend: 10. Being The Pope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurtle Squad Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 As annoying as it is people do sometimes actually earn their excessive wealth :/ Exactly...The Govt. and GPs spring to mind. It's pretty hilarious actually.....The last 3 are the same thing. Plus Greed etc is in most of them. Catholics suck!!!!* I also find the idea of "birth control" being unethical. I sure hope the Pope makes sure NONE of his spunk dies, and it's ALL used. HAHAHA. And EVERY womans eggs should be used too ey? And anyone against abortion on anyone other than themselves is a fucking moron. Giving the rights of a barely developed organism obove those of the parent(s)......and the animals they kill to eat. *I would know;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Sometimes I just way prefer Judaism (and that's saying something). At least they stick to their original preachings and don't make up crap rules all the time. It's good to see that homosexual tendancies aren't included in that list.

Slaggis Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 I loathe religions like this. It angers me so much that there's just some old guy telling people these things are wrong. It angers me more, and shows how fucked up this world is that people are actually listening too him. Whats wrong with people, can't they see how utterly wrong it all is?

The fish Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 It's good to see that homosexual tendancies aren't included in that list. If it was, I'd be on the next flight to Rome, and stop only at a firearms shop before making a trip to the Vatican. Also, as The Bard said, the Catholic church isn't exactly a shining example for not gathering wealth. Or not creating poverty. Or not widening the wealth gap. Woops...

Cube Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 2. "Morally dubious" experiments such as stem cell research Experiments like those will eventually help with poverty. Trying to stop them will be no different to creating poverty. Edit: Same with birth control. Stopping it is no different than creating poverty.
