Which is the worst sin?

[Deja Q]

[VelmaD]

1. Treating people like things

Evil begins with treating people as things.

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. Actually, evil begins with treating others differently...

than you would yourself. That whole "do unto others" thing, y'know...pretty much the only moral compass anyone needs, if you ask me.

2. In the Middle Ages, it was Pride

Pride was the root of all other sins. It elevated a person over their neighbor, even over their God, and made them believe they were special, that they could decide right and wrong. That was the first step in all sins. That was the real sin of Adam and Eve--the belief that they had the knowledge of good and evil.

Around the eleventh century, as the economy had grown beyond subsistence, and money came into use again, theologians began calling avarice the greatest of sins. People's desire for what other people owned or had was the root of all sin. Pride, once the worst of sins, slowly became a virtue.

Is BushCo's sin Pride or Greed?

Okay, history lesson over. back to work.

3. Wanna know what the BEST sin is?

[Deja Q]

17. Oh yeah!

I think I know what it is, but as I actually get to do it these days... /tmi

[MissMillie]

4. pretending to know what God wants

or, as I like to call it, self-professed piety.

[moof]

5. A. Humans must kill to live & as Joe Campbell said to the vegans

it's not fair to kill plants and somehow claim you are not living
at the expense of another living organism's death.

B. Sin is a religious term so it has no meaning as it has no universal definition related to individual actions.

C. If there is one thing that the everyone in the human race can be ashamed of it's lack of knowledge and the ability of many to be proud of their lack of knowledge.

A close second would be the willingness to accept anything as true without proof, but that again is owed to lack of knowledge of the person
accepting something as true without proof.

6. dope-wasting

or possibly "non-fornication". it's a toss up.

[sundog]

7. define sin

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

8. Ice cream sandwiches a worse sin than killing?

kill your figure. :evilgrin:

[youthere]

9. Voting Republican. n/t

[MissMillie]

good one.

[XemaSab]

[liontamer]

13. to not love your neighbour as yourself

[Hosnon]

14. Recovering Southern Baptist but aren't all sins equally bad?

[Theres-a]

15. Contempt prior to investigation

[Wapsie B]

16. To not find your purpose in life

and to waste your precious time on this earth.

[Felix Mala]

19. People, especially Americans, always forget Pride is a sin...

Or they'll try to tell you it doesn't mean pride in country...

[Deep13]

20. Wearing a printed tie with a striped shirt.

Blech!:puke:

[motely36]

21. I feel that coveting is the basis for all other sins

even killing. One kills because the killee has something that the killer wants. It doesn't have to be an actual object.

Taking Gods name in vain, stems from God having something they want.

Does this make any sense to anybody else?

22. Despite the fact...

...that this morning I declared that people who don't keep to the right on subway stairs should be euthanized, I said "to kill."
