7 Sins Wrath [7SW]

7 Sins Wrath. Wrath (Latin, ira) Wrath (anger, hatred, prejudice, discrimination) — Inappropriate [unrighteous] feelings of hatred and anger. Denial of the truth to others or self. Impatience with the law, or seeking revenge outside of justice. Unnecessary vigilanteism. Wishing to do evil or harm to others. Disliking others for no good reason, such as their race or religion, leading to discrimination. Self-righteousness. Wrath is the root of murder, assault, discrimination, and, ultimately, genocide. Dante described wrath as "love of justice perverted to revenge and spite". The punishment in hell for wrath is being dismembered (probably over and over again, like the eagle that repeatedly eats Prometheus's liver every day in Greek mythology.) Hoping to build the 7 sins alliance which will include- Lust (Latin, luxuria) Lust (fornication, perversion) — Depraved thought, unwholesome morality, desire for excitement, or need to be accepted or recognized by others. Obsessive, unlawful, or unnatural sexual desire, such as desiring sex with a person outside marriage or engaging in unnatural sexual appetites (like bestiality.) Rape, adultery and sodomy are considered to be extreme lust and are said to be mortal sins. Dante's criterion was "excessive love of others," thereby detracting from the love due to God. Lust prevents clarity of thought and rational behavior. Lust is symbolized by the snake in most Christian religions and the color blue, although it can also be associated with the cow. The punishment in hell for lust is being smothered in brimstone and fire. Gluttony (Latin, gula) Gluttony (waste, overindulgence) — Thoughtless waste of everything, overindulgence, misplaced sensuality, uncleanliness, and maliciously depriving others. Marked by refusal to share and unreasonable consumption of more than is necessary, especially in the case of food or water. Destruction, especially for sport (like trophy hunting.) Substance abuse or binge drinking. Dante explains it as "excessive love of pleasure". Associated with pigs and the colour orange. The punishment in hell for gluttony is being force-fed rats, toads, and snakes. Greed/Avarice (Latin, avaritia) Greed (treachery, covetousness) — A strong desire to gain, especially in money or power. Disloyalty, deliberate betrayal, or treason, especially for personal gain or when compensated. scavenging and hoarding of materials or objects. Theft and robbery, especially by violence, trickery, or, worst of all, manipulation of authority. Simony is the evolution of avarice because it fills you with the urge to make money by selling things within the confines of the church. This sin is abhorred by the Catholic Church and is seen as a sin of malice; Dante included this sin in the first poem of the Divine Comedy (the Inferno). Simony can be viewed as betrayal. Thomas Aquinas on greed: "it is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things." Greed is often seen as the most childish of the 3 exaggerated adulthood sins, because it often focuses on short-term gains. An extreme form of gluttony. Greed is represented by the frog and the color yellow. [citation needed] The punishment in hell for greed is being submerged in the finest boiling oils. Sloth (Latin, acedia) Sloth (apathy, indifference, laziness) — Apathy, idleness, and wastefulness of time. Laziness is particularly condemned because others must work harder to make up for it. Cowardice or irresponsibility. Abandonment, especially of God. Sloth is a little like a state of equilibrium: one does not produce much, one does not consume much. However, sloth, unlike homeostasis, leads only to despair. Dante wrote that sloth is the "failure to love God with all one's heart, all one's mind and all one's soul".
