The seven deadly sins (NEW MODERNISED VERSION)

[Nattie]

The Catholic Church has now got rid of the old deadly sins
Pride
Envy
Gluttony
Lust
Anger
Greed
Sloth

for the new modern version

Environmental pollution
Genetic manipulation
Accumulating excessive wealth
Inflicting poverty
Drug trafficking and consumption
Morally debatable experiments
Violation of fundamental rights of human nature

ANYONE FOR A FILM ABOUT IT? Not sure I could commit all of them at once.

So the banks do extremely well with the new 3 and 4, with perhaps some success with 6 and 7 as well?

The Catholic Church don't do too badly either.

Have you ever met a poor priest?

Give me a bank over a church any day of the week.

I should add that the main sin they see is paedophilia and abortion. Now let me think about this one. Right to life of unborn foetus v. right of life of mother who desparately does not want a child. US Catholic church and huge payouts over inappropriate behaviour(this is the lamp post so cannot put down exactly what i want to). Interesting to say the least.
