Do you believe in the two new deadly sins?

Who says that’s new? Fear isn’t a sin as I understand it, but deceit always has been.

@snowberry New to me. From the Enneagram.

Sin is a religious construct. Which religion’s sins are you talking about?

Deceit is something that most religions practice in order you believe in their version of morality. Most bible stories are deceitful, in that they are not true, but have been rewritten for coercive purposes.

Same with fear – who more than christians want to scare you into acting morally so you won’t end up in their version of hell? The entire Catholic Church as built on the fear of god’s wrath, and the possibility you won’t go to heaven.

The way I see it, these two new so-called sins are a rehash of tried and true religious doctrine.

@elbanditoroso The Enneagam. Mixed with Dungeons Dragons, and psychology.

They have 9 different categories for each.

How do you come up with them being a sin from a personality test? And a D&D game? This isn’t even a serious question, is it?

@smudges I brought it up in an essay in University Ethics class in 2000. I would like to build on it. I was looking for something original.

I passed the course.
I am interested in the subject of personality.

Fear isn’t a sin.

Deceit is already covered by the so called commandments.

If those sins are deadly then I shouldn’t be alive. HA!

New? Is Trump talking about what he believes in here?

No, I don’t believe in them. I’m scared of nothing and I NEVER lie.

@seawulf575 Providing false information unintentionally is generally not considered lying, as the key element of a lie is the intention to deceive. If someone provides inaccurate information without realizing it’s false, it is considered a mistake or misinformation, not a deliberate lie. Yet it still can be considered spreading False Information.

@Forever_Free You are spot on! But my comment was meant as a joke.

@seawulf575 Yes, I know. Mine wasn’t.

They still haven’t added slavery, or murder?
Hmm….

According to the internet, the “deadly sins,” are considered to be behavior or feelings, that lead to further “sin.”
