From: Roger the Skiffler Caught the end of a BBC radio 4 programme (with Joan Bakewell, the thinking pensioners' crumpet)on the Seven Deadly Sins. There are going to be eight episodes, apparently, and they are asking for suggestions for a new Sin for the last episode. I nominate for the world in general and Mudcat in particular: INTOLERENCE.

21 Jul 04 - 09:12 PM (#1231013) Subject: RE: BS: Eighth deadly sin? From: HuwG Here is a link to a thread on The Seven Deadly Sins (as sung by the Dubliners). "The Seven Deadly Sins" doesn't seem to be in the DT; I'll post a LyrAdd when I get round to it. There are only five verses. I dare say I could improvise something for the other two. Beware ! In today's climate, the fourth verse (about smoking being a sin) can result in things being thrown at you. And ashtrays are painful and messy missiles. |

21 Jul 04 - 09:16 PM (#1231016) Subject: RE: BS: Eighth deadly sin? From: HuwG BTW, Roger, "INTOLERENCE" is actually spelled, "INTOLERANCE". Can I nominate pedantry as the eighth deadly sin ? |

Envy (isn't at all happy that Pride is #1) Gluttony (If it isn't going to be #1, at least it'll be the #1 consumer) Lust (using sex as a replacement for being #1) Anger (pissed off that the sex wasn't "all that") Greed (at least happy that there's been a hell of a lot of sinnin' going on) Sloth (who else would come last?) |

22 Jul 04 - 12:56 AM (#1231132) Subject: RE: BS: Eighth deadly sin? From: Little Hawk Limitation (of Self and of Life). (often expressing as: cynicism, pessimism, disbelief, self-hatred, ignorance, hatred of others, rejection of life, withdrawal, depression, reductionism, negativism, and similar mental-emotional habits/philosophies...all springing from the original incorrect assumption of extreme limitation.) If there is an original sin, that's it: The belief in limitation (and separation). Directly from it spring the other 7. |

22 Jul 04 - 06:49 PM (#1231724) Subject: RE: BS: Eighth deadly sin? From: McGrath of Harlow Little Hawk's "Limitation (of Self and of Life)" is equivalent to the meaning of "accidie", when this list was being put together, translated, rather misleadingly, as "sloth". I'd say intolerwqnce isn't so much a root sin, it's a poison brewed up when you mix up a bunch of the others - mainly envy, pride, and wrath. |

24 Jul 04 - 03:05 PM (#1232912) Subject: RE: BS: Eighth deadly sin? From: Bill D I agree that 'intolerance', as bad as it is, can be thought of as a combination of several others. My nomination... 'lack of perspective' not sure I can express it in one word like the others, but it includes the concepts of 'narrowmindedness' 'shallowness' 'isolationism' 'ignorance' and a few other words that express a deep reluctance to see beyond one's own inculcated habits and beliefs. (note...'ignorance', in my view implies cultivated lack of perspective, rather than 'stupidity', which is genetic and/or incurable) |

27 Jul 04 - 10:33 AM (#1234761) Subject: RE: BS: Eighth deadly sin? From: hesperis Interesting one, Georgiansilver. Probably more accurate as a sin than intolerance... because intolerance of certain things is necessary, whereas disrespect is hardly ever truly necessary and even when it's justifiable can come back to bite you in the ass. |
