It's a bad ideal, because the implication is that all other sins aren't deadly when all sins are actually the same in terms of "deadliness.

This is incorrect as the bible makes clear that some sins are not only against God but also will consume you. Think addiction and homosexuality.

Everyone worships something. Back in the day it was a golden calf, now it’s technology, porn, activism, etc.

Human nature. Progessivism is a religion. Takes a lot of faith and voodoo like global warming and covid. Cannot be questioned. They even have a diet (bugs, vegan etc). Kill free speech. Cancel people.

Same as every religion ever.

I have never understood the PRIDE that religious folks take in just BELIEVING something for which there exists ZERO objective evidence .

Kind of like reading an article on drag queen story time and making an "informed" decision.

Parallel sins out of proverbs, but really all sins are deadly.



I've heard of people dying from exhaustion during a triathlon or something, but not during a frickaton. If so your heart was already a few beats away from death.

Death is 100 percent, thanks to sin. The wages refer specifically to eternal and spiritual death, but I suspect you know that already and are making a poor attempt at humor. Keep trying buddy

Everyone is free to believe in and worship spooks if they so choose

Nah bruh it was idols

Christians made a spiritual thing very legalistic, which is a failure.

And that is exactly why Jesus called out the hypocrisy of Pharisees.

That said, it doesn't mean the Church is a failure; It only means the Church is being culled from its great pretenders and apostate elements (Ex: Terrible teachings, invasion from demonic elements, accepting apostate ministers who eliminate/twist Scripture to accommodation LGQT "inclusion.")

The Church has been experiencing a great falling away -- the "Apostasy," but it has been prophesied. God eventually "dividing the wheat from the Chaff."

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other".- John Adams

The wisdom of our Founding Fathers. The same Founding Fathers these people love to hate.

ONE "Founding Father" ... and the most-religious of the lot.

Franklin and Jefferson were laughing at Adams as they were swilling good wine and short-sheeting his bed.

What's the irreligious version of "you're going to hell if you don't do what I say."

quote:

---

If polled, I suspect that more than half of purported Christians would say with confidence that the “Seven Deadly Sins“ come directly from a single Bible verse, as opposed to a popular 14th century Italian poet… the Jackie Collins of his day.

You are probably correct, here. Many atheists know much more of God’s Word than many Christians do. Yet, they do not know God. The Bible is written so that a child can understand its general message, and is simultaneously so complex that it can entertain the most intelligent, investigative minds- without end.
If you’re looking for a reason to doubt- you will find it. If you’re looking for a reason to believe- you’ll find it. It is your choice. God is not going to override your free will.
