Sinbad (or don't sin at all)
|
Sinbad (or don't sin at all) My blessed aunt bought me a copy of "The Tales of Sheherazade" when I was a young tacker. The Arabian nights, tales of ancient Persia etc. My favourite was always Sinbad and his seven seas. How could such a good man be saddled with a name like Sin Bad!! Boggled my fragile eggshell mind!! (J.M) I wonder what she would make of her country today? Sheherazade, that is , not my auntie!! God knows I can guess what her reaction would be LOL. But tonight is not about the Middle East, or America's oil wars. Tonight is about my favourite topic. Sin and the Church!!!! Awww, he's off again!! okok I can hear it now! But honestly, I couldnt let this one pass without comment. You see , the Vatican has just updated the seven deadly sins. Now the original seven sins, were not theirs to play around with anyway. They were invented by Dante Alleguerie, of "Inferno" fame , somewhere around the 6th century AD. Remember him? The guy who invented Hell. Unfortunately he wrote the ultimate scary novel of the time, and old Pope Gregorio used every page to his advantage. The following is a summary of the old and much loved sins: The original offenses and their punishments : Pride - Broken on the wheel Envy - Put in freezing water Gluttony - Forced to eat rats, toads, and snakes Lust - Smothered in fire and brimstone Anger - Dismembered alive Greed - Put in cauldrons of boiling oil Sloth - Thrown in snake pits All a bit much for a lazy fat horny bloke like me, it makes me soooo mad. LOL Not true, I wish I could be like that but Im above it!! OK Want the new ons as released by Pope Joey da Rat? Pollution Ok I can live with that , pollution is a sin Genetic Engineering Lets wait and see. Obscene Wealth Whoa!! Hold up! This is coming from the single richest organization on the face of the Earth. Hmm, Bill Gates should be worried! Drug Taking Guilty smile! Abortion I will never express my views on this in this forum. Pedophilia Its about time the church got around to recognizing this one as a sin, LOL. Clean up ya own back yard before ya cast that particular stone fellas. And last but not least Social Injustice Who would have thought that Social Injustice was a deadly sin in the eyes of the Church?? I don't have enough time or the inclination to list either the Society's, or the Injustices meted out in the name of organized religion Perhaps the Vatican would be better off staying out of general popular fiction, and concentrating on that wonderful novel they are always going on about. The one with the Ten Commandments in it. |
