Seven Deadly Sins

Be Honest!
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

At one point or another in my life I have been guilty of all.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

   Only Lust for me and when that ends I hope the woman next to me calls the Funeral Home.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

Be Honest!

'Fear' is the root of all seven.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

1, I'm pleading the fifth.

2, if there is any deadly sin of which I am more guilty of than any, it's the eighth deadly sin of despair, or acedia as they used to call it.

That has never been my thing. I have been beat up all the way along, and been so low as to be living in the sticks under a 10x10 tarp for months. The trick is to find beauty in everything.

I will recommend something that will jack your mind over. The only book by a shrink  that I put any store in:


Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl


Chew on that and see what happens.  :beer:

Probably all of them at one point or another in my life, but never pride. I can’t think of one time in my life I have been proud of anything I’ve accomplished.


As for despair, it’s despair that makes us appreciate the good. I know I’m going through a mega depressive state right now, where I’m almost.  ahenodonic  but I know it probably will get better. Past experiences say it usually does, even if it takes a year or two


It would also be interesting to see what of the 7 heavenly virtues we’ve done,

Good idea.

While I have practiced the 7 virtues at one time or another some are not easy....patience isn't my strong suit
Romans 12:16-21

Most if not all of them, I am able to beat back as only thoughts, but our mind goes everywhere and we are to master them the best we can, unlike animals.

So yes, basically everyday I sin with thinking (and often doing, I am 250lbs for a reason) some/most if not all of these. Everyday I try to ask the Lord to forgive me and help me do better.

I do fairly well with greed, wraith, and envy. Not so good with the rest.

Now where is my hidden stash of M&Ms at ?
