024- RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCES ARE FOR SQUARES (LIKE PANTS)

[uberboned]

Three points.

(1. I'm not an idiot. I know what this week is. By all means, have a Southern Baptist-style potluck supper for all I care. I'm not gonna be the little archangel that rained on your religious parade.

(2. In case you're all worried, no, I don't celebrate April Fool's Day. I'm a little more professional than that, thanks. Although, given the sheer number of dick moves people pull on that day, it's my busiest time of the year. ...That and Thanksgiving. I'm not sure why.

Anyway.

(3. I'm dragging Irene into the CES tomorrow. We'll be gone... Oh, a good three or four days. Maybe. If you need anything.... Y'know what? Just don't need anything.

It seems that way. That makes no sense. Why have a holiday to celebrate a sin?

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

In the eyes of a cynical son of a bitch like me, every major American holiday celebrates a sin. Christmas? Greed. Valentine's Day? Lust. Fourth of July? Wrath.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Fourth of July? I have heard of the others but, what is so special about that day?

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Through toil and bloodshed, America's independence from England was recognized. Let freedom ring, blah, blah, blah.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

From what I have heard of the country...good riddance.

DON'T TELL ME YOU DIDN'T EXPECT HER ALL UP IN HERE

I wouldn't call gluttony a true sin, regardless of what the bible might say...

GABE CAN'T EVEN TALK, MAN. HE EATS LIKE A HORSE.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

I actually kinda agree with that. In fact, I'd have it removed as one of the Seven Deadly Sins altogether, buuut religion ain't like Congress. Go figure.

WHEREAS LIBBY...IS JUST AN UNREPENTANT CHUBBY CHASER

I don't really ascribe to any religion, but...really? Guys People deserve to be labeled "sinful" just because they like to eat? That doesn't sit well with me.

This is my warden, Gabby. Don't you just love her?

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

Hush, you.

[yousethimfree.livejournal.com]

Make me.

[painhumbles.livejournal.com]

Laaaadies.

[yousethimfree.livejournal.com]

I didn't do it.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

Have you been telling your friend stories about me, Ruby?

[yousethimfree.livejournal.com]

Only a couple. Nothing bad, I promise.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I'm just joshing you, hon. As long as you don't spill my deeply personal stuff, I don't mind.

[yousethimfree.livejournal.com]

The only secrets I give him are mine.

THIS IS WHY WE LOVE HER

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

A sin is a sin. Whether or not you judge someone because of it is a different matter. I am hardly the person to judge a person on sins, however.

D'AWW

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

All of the "deadly sins" are normal, natural aspects of human behavior. In excess, they can be harmful, yes, but I wouldn't call any of them sinful.

Gluttony is probably the most benign of the seven.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

If you say so. I am not one to debate this subject.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

That depends entirely. For instance if we want to talk about periods in time, region, et cetera, then the people for which the cardinal sins were first coined came of much smaller communities than many of us know. If you were gluttonous then, you were likely also taking food out of someone else's mouth in order to eat more than your fair share.

Monsieur Marquis? Allow a chubby chaser to defend her prey, please.
