i don't think Bill Gates is who this is aimed at.

another article i read explains it as, "social injustices that cause poverty or 'the excessive accumulation of wealth by a few'.

Oh I get it! They mean that becoming obscenely rich and not giving back to those in need is a sin, man, if only there was a word to describe that...it would be so much more convenient and wouldn't cause confusion.

Never mind the fact that if they don't believe in it, then it shouldn't affect them at all.

here we go. . .

in case anyone wants just the list:

"The new lists condemns genetic modification, carrying out experiments on humans, polluting the environment, causing social injustice, causing poverty, becoming obscenely wealthy and taking drugs.

It replaces the list originally drawn up by Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th Century, which included envy, gluttony, greed, lust, wrath and pride. Sadness was replaced by sloth in the 17th Century."


Those who don't believe in sin.. just move along, nothing for you to see here.

So basically this new pope couldn't create cool 1 word sins like Pope Gregory? "Causing social injustice" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue like lust and envy do.

To quote the late Robert Heinlein,

?Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful - just stupid).?

The Church, as usual, is wrong, IMO.
 
Pretty sure they mean genetic modification of humans.

I don't understand the complaints about the obscenely wealthy one... Why weren't you complaining about gluttony being a sin?

I'll be following you in my pollution spewing truck. This just convences me that we need to use more fuel so there is less to fuel the fires of hell.

They had Microsoft write the code, and market it with the new editions....
 
I guess it's time to come out with a new version of Se7en...

Edit: Damnit, already said 🙁

Polluting the environment, seriously? Do they want us to go back to the stone age?

I am an atheist but if there is any proof that there is a god, its the fun of taking things out of context.
