Fullmetal Alchemist? spuddangar Posted at 11:13 pm on Dec. 31, 2008 The seven deadly sins aren't actually articulated very accurately in many cases. Some of the seven deadly sins are, by definition, subject to personal opinion. Such as lust- to have a yearning or desire; have a strong or excessive craving.- this could be for something natural such as needed food when you are hungry. Lust (or lechery) is an inordinate craving for coitus often to the point of assuming a self-indulgent and sometimes violent character. Lust, or an immoderate desire for the flesh of another (outside of matrimony), is considered a sin, or impure act, in all of the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism). But for example the little part of the definition, "outside of matrimony", is only implied, never actually mentioned. Does this mean that the craving for your wife's coitus is a sin? That is normally called consummation, which implies an essence of beauty. Also the word used in the definition, (inordinate)- not within proper or reasonable limits; immoderate; excessive:- this reasonable limit is determined by whom? That would be the personal opinion of the subject at hand. cum funnel Posted at 9:32 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 I go off of the actual definition of sloth sadness itself was included in the original list beforethe pope excluded it and replaced vainglory with envy cum funnel Posted at 9:29 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 Quote: from agerask at 9:26 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 history channel is the best. we have a military history channel and i watch it too often.

In fact it was first called the sin of sadness or despair. It had been in the early years of Christianity characterized by what modern writers would now describe as melancholy: apathy, depression, and joylessness — the last being viewed as being a refusal to enjoy the goodness of God and the world God created." agerask Posted at 9:26 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 history channel is the best. we have a military history channel and i watch it too often.
