Vatican Lists New Deadly Sins

The Vatican and Catholic Church came out today with a list of new deadly sins, ones that are rampant in today's consumer driven society. The original list still stands, as does the new ten commandments for drivers of motor vehicles that was issued last year. With this new list, there is virtually no hope for anyone getting to Heaven, perhaps even for religious personnel themselves. The list of the newest seven deadly sins are:

1) Genetic Modification

2) Human Experimentation

3) Polluting the Environment

4) Social Injustice

5) Causing Poverty

6) Financial Gluttony

7) Taking Drugs

This definitively means that all executives, administrators, and managers of virtually every corporation are doomed to an eternity in Hell for widespread and incalculable numerous sins of these kinds, as if they were not already destined for that. Rich jackals like Donald Trump, Carl Icahn, Jerry Jones, Kirk Kirkorian, and most anyone with a net worth in excess of more than a million dollars are also destined for a permanent afterlife in Hell. And all those dirtbags who took heroin, cocaine, crack, meth, and angel dust are going there too. The number of people in positions of power, authority, and influence that have caused poverty and created social injustice would include virtually all people in government and business above the labor level. Hell will have around a half-billion to three-quarters of a billion of all people living today as permanent residents joining those already there and those already scheduled to be there after they pass.

The one that will get many more is the sin of polluting the environment. Every person in the US and other developed countries is guilty of this transgression to some extent. There are also billions of other people around the globe guilty as well. Will having made an attempt not to pollute be of any consolation ? For some, maybe - but for the ones who largely gave it lip service, that probably will not be enough.

All in all, not too many human beings alive at this moment are going to be going to Heaven. And this list of new mortal sins makes it all but impossible for most people alive at the moment.
