society without "the Seven Deadly Sins."

[charles brough]

It wouldn't work!

Here is the generally accepted list:wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony.

Wrath. We need to show anger sometimes to warn selfish people we won't be taken advantage of. It is effective in raising children to convince them you mean what you say when they misbehave.

Geed. Without greed, lust, gluttony and envy the capitalistic system would be unable to work. They take credit for the high physical standard of living in modern times.

If sloth is wrong, what would people do in Heaven? Would they be required to work?

Pride. How can you respect people that have no pride in themselves? Shouldn't we have pride in our religion, our culture, our nation, our children?

Relax, there is no Heaven.

Of course. It wouldn't work. People would have to work. If they just spent their time idle and bored or partying up a good time, it still wouldn't work. Its impossible even in concept.

The only reason the whole idea originated was because people came to realize, some forty-thousand years ago, that the individual had a "self" seperate from the body. The question then arose as to what happens to one's "self when the body dies. No one wanted to think that their "self" also died, so they imagined the concept of the self or soul continuing on somehow even so. They imagined heaven, reincarnation or rebirth, to avoid "death." They could not face the realization that both the self (consciousness) and the body depended on the other.

But all that goes back in the old spirit age. It is about time we outgrow it.
