The pope has apparently been reading our manifesto and came up with similar ideas for his new seven deadly sins. Except for genetic modifications and cloning which we have left out, he adopted environment pollution, social injustice, causing poverty and being obscenely wealthy. He also has "taking drugs" as a sin, which we generally addressed as "respect yourself and your body", under the "respect the other" bullet.
Nothing against it, but Ben, you should quote your sources next time!
What I found interesting in this article is the claim that the original sins are currently becoming virtues, and the part on social sins, when a society sins, who should actually pay for it?

I also found the part of "Mohandas Gandhi" interesting, where the sins are sins only when done without reason or justification...
"Wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, science without humanity, knowledge without character, politics without principle, commerce without morality and worship without sacrifice."
I think those also come closer to our blog's manifest...
very good point! i read the article over the weekend, and yesterday i quickly skimmed through it to make my post. But when i initially read it, i also enjoyed that passage very much!!
