A Biblical Duty?
By California Yankee
The Vatican has extended its list of mortal sins to include 21st century transgressions:
The new seven deadly sins are those of drug abuse, genetic manipulation, morally dubious experimentation, environmental pollution, social inequalities and social injustice, causing poverty and accumulating excessive wealth at the expense of the common good of society.
Traditionally, mortal sins are acts which breach the Ten Commandments from which the Roman Catholic Church deduced that there were seven deadly sins - pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed and sloth.
Not to be outdone, leaders of the Southern Baptists have "declared" their denomination has been "too timid" on environmental issues and has a biblical duty to stop global warming.
As one who recognizes global climate change, but remains skeptical as to whether it is all the result of human activity, I continue to wonder if climate change is not part of God's plan.
