7 deadly sins
Took out the Baltimore Catechism to check the seven deadly sins but couldn’t find them there.
Surprised. Expected they’d be there as a list.
As I remember, they were not as specific as the 10 commandments.
“Thou shalt not kill,” that’s straightforward.
I haven’t killed any humans, but I did kill some animals when I was younger, not proud of it, disgusts me actually.
I may be in violation of the other 9 commandments to some degree too.
I think the deadly sins were more states of being; laziness and sloth come to mind, or jealousy and hatred.
Vanity, I have that one, catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror as I pass and being drawn to it automatically like a fool.
Giving advice when you weren’t asked is one.
Peeing in the yard rather than the bathroom, my wife says that’s one.
When Moses was leading the Jews out of Egypt he said something about low cost loans
and restocking fees,
I think that should be on the list.
Feeding monkeys prunes and cabbage should be one.
I remember a summer day at the Catskill Game Farm looking at the monkeys. One of them picked up a turd and threw it at the crowd, the other monkeys joined in creating an intense shit-throwing event. People scattered in all directions.
Didn’t make the papers but always I think of it when I remember the farm.
Talking on cell in traffic is one.
Telling lies is probably one.
Lying to invade a foreign country.
Lying on your taxes.
Lying to get laid.
I guess just lying
It leads to dissolution of the spirit.
You have to jump start it later in life with a lot of fasting and meditation or it will die entirely.
A lot of folks are walking around dead.
Going to listen to the Dali Llama instead of going to Mass. That’s one
Hireing Mexicans.
Smiling at nineteen-year-old checkout girls.
Stealing from children will send you directly to hell.
Watching Crime Scene Investigation night after night.
I think the Seven was just the basics, an outline.
More are..
Using fruit for unusual purposes
Firing on navy personal
Not using deodorant.
Deadly is everywhere.
This is the final time,
The Kali Yuga
The time of immense stools and
Partial dentures.
