So the Vatican is making up some more sins for Catholics. Have they forgotten any that you can think of to email to the Pope or I guess the Archbishop Gianfranco Girotti, the Vatican's number-two official for sins and penance.

Girotti also attacked drugs, saying they "weaken the mind and obscure intelligence". That would be the deathiness for MacNN. They'd have to ban/kick Catholics, not that that's a bad idea now.

Social injustice? Glad to see them jumping on the bandwagon.

Genetic manipulation? Sigh. I pose the greatest "sin" of all is that of stupidity. That'd leave Benedict well ****ed.

Something tells me that if it were a Republican championing a massive recycling effort in your town, you'd support the Democrat without a moment's thought of the environment.

eating meat
How about making a meat ship?

owning a gun
How about a meat ship with cannons?

watching fox news
How is Fox News any less horrific than the other corporate outlets? Because they have a couple of well-known conservatives on there like... Geraldo Rivera, Alan Colmes, Martin Frost, Wesley Clark...

Please, ebuddy, even you can see that Fox News is completely slanted propaganda. I'd point to an example of a ridiculously left-leaning news outlet as an example, but I literally can't think of one that is as nakedly partisan as Fox.

They're a joke. A network that airs nothing but ideological masturbation for right-wingers.

That would be a good sin, watching Fox News. Would that be a mortal sin or the venial kind?

There is a very special level of hell reserved for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

No. Actually, I think you saw a "Fox News sucks!" bumper sticker underneath a "goddess bless" and "no war for oil" bumper sticker and decided it must be fashionably left to hate Fox News.

EIther you watch it or you don't. If you do, then you're either A. giving patronage to completely slanted propaganda or B. you know better. If you don't watch it, then you wouldn't have a clue. Seems to me, either way you're full of crap.

They're a joke. A network that airs nothing but ideological masturbation for right-wingers.
Admit it, Fox News sucks because they actually allow conservatives to speak. C'mon, it's okay. Unless of course you have some examples of how Fox News is more shamelessly partisan than the other corporate outlets. I'd be interested to see it.

I would think that voting for Obama or listening to Baby Boy Da Prince would figure among mortal sins.
