I think that Oddguy, Grig and PA should read, if not do a little bit of research, on the Satanic Bible. They tell the non-believers to read their Bible so why don't they read other religions Bibles? Oddguy you said that your Bible makes Satan look bad, and so you base your decision of "him" and the religion on that. Surely if you were to truly follow your religion you would do what Jesus would do and see both sides of the story.

If a family needs moolah to support their family, that is not a sin!
|
It's not a sin, because it's not Greed. Let me elaborate on a few things some of you said -
:
|
So, if you are starving to death, would it be a sin to eat?
|
This is why i stated to read peoples posts properly. DI never said it was a sin to eat, he said it was a sin to eat when full.
:
|
And Sloth. if you are trying to get the required amount of rest for your day, is that a sin?
|
Again, you seem to be mistaking 'Sloth' for 'Sleeping'...

Greed, what if you need money for your family, and what is the chance of you winning the lottery? very slim and if you do you are very happy that you have extra income. but if you spend it on everything for wacky stuff and rub it in peoples faces, that is sin
|
If you need money for your family, then it is not a sin. Because it is needed. However, as DI stated, wanting more money is a sin. Wanting abit extra at dinner, is a sin. Wanting more than you need, is a sin. Infact, wanting is a sin. If you have everything you NEED, you are perfectly equipped to live life righteously. Do you NEED an Xbox? Do you NEED MO? Do you NEED a computer? No, but you want these things. Yet because you don't need them you're being Greedy. I suppose this also applies to Lust.

but if you are mad for no reason, that is sin
|
It's all very well saying that but who decides if you have a reason? God does. So if somebody close to you gets hit by a car by a drunk driver and you get angry, you may think "I am well within my right to be angry, my close person-thing has been hurt" whereas God may be all "I shall test this person and if they get angry they shall dance in the pit of eternal flame."...or something.
I personally believe that Buddhists are better Bible-following-people. They never Lust, never get Greedy, never get Angry, never Gluttonise, never Slothful, never Prideful, never get jealous...
