Politics and Religion
you embrace it or embrace them.
I'm not religious at all but I can like relate to catholisism because that's what I would be expected to be. For me all religions are ok.
according to wikipedia they are:
lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride,
Lust is our favorite here, cool.
Gluttony, who doesn't like to eat good. But then we don't want to get too fat. So we (at least I) try to balance it.
greed: n/a. That would buy into buying stuff and that don't go with me or mrnogood.
sloth: hey, we work because we have to.
wrath: n/a. I only feel a bit of self anger for not having been better or more. But i don't blame others.
envy and pride: n/a for me but I've seen it mostly on women I have known.
So there you go. You either embrace it or it doesn't apply to you.
Then there is the association of a association of the sin with a demon
Lucifer/Satan is associated with pride. I like satan not as a evil being but as a cool being idea.
So I see God and satan and mrnogood or other person or whatever I might like as cool whatevers that might or might most probably not exist. Except for mrnogood or whatever other entity which I'm comparing them to, which does exist.
Maybe I should take my catholisims seriously. I think I would make a good priest or for that matter a pastor, rabbi, reverend or whatever.

From God's mouth to your eyes and ears:
Hosea 4:14,
"I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot
Or your brides when they commit adultery,
For the men themselves go apart with harlots
And offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes;
So the people without understanding are ruined."
You might also enjoy reading through Joshua 2:1-24.
You have asked an earnest question in a very unearnest and disreligious place. Many of the posters on this board take delight and great pride in displaying their irreverence on this subject. If someone asks a question like this or attempts to make a point that is not derived from a secular humanist, non-relativist point-of-view they are often answered with a variation on "you shouldn't be involved in the hobby if you believe that."
Contrary to what many believe, churches are NOT buildings that serve as exclusive clubs for saintly, cuntless, cockless, pious religious people. During His time spent here on earth, Jesus himself preferred the company of whores, thieves and other people of that sort (you know, sinners?). As a matter-of-fact, it was the "religious," and self-righteous who resisted Him most violently.
There is a great divide between religion versus faith. Religion is that corporate entity founded to enforce mass obedience to legalities. Religion creates churches, makes-up rules about how many times folks are allowed to shake the piss off their dicks before they start sinning, and composes various lists about Venal and Deadly Sins as well as the costs (Hail Marys & $$$) associated with absolution from them. And then there's faith. The best definition I've seen is:
Hebrews 11:1-3.
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."
The just live by faith. Sinners live by their unsuccessful obedience to rules.
Just "in case" you aren't near your Bible at the moment:

Raquel Welch as "Lust" in Bedazzled.
That might explain why he hates fags.
