Featured Term (selected at random):
Another name for the seven capital sins. They may be called deadly because they are tendencies to those basic sins which, if deliberately and fully consented to, deprive a person of the supernatural life of God in the soul.
Every sin is grounds for death.

Pedophilia?
About a year or so ago, I saw a bar (maybe a restuarant) that had the faces of these 7 sins over the door on the front of their establishment. Kind of creeped me out...
I bet it would be creepy to see them. But one of the seven deadly sins is gluttony — eating and drinking too much. LOL!
I don’t think you are trying to bait me, so I will answer you.
I believe that would fall under greed — earthly pleasures, rather than seeking the kingdom of God.
Yep, gluttony was the first one you could see!
Thank you for posting the picture, iowamark. I was reading Saint Thomas More’s “The Four Last Things” only last week...
I remember the names of the 7 Deadlies via the acronym PALE GAS:
Pride
Anger
Lust
Envy
Gluttony
Avarice
Sloth
Good acronym to remember them by. LOL!
along with the greed — lust — of course, for the wrong things.
But is lusting after a married woman the right thing?
According to this list, lust of any kind is not OK.....
