Um, who cares? It doesn't have to be in the Bible to be true. You're talking to a Catholic, honey. I don't follow the "sola scriptura" thing.
And it seems to me that the seven deadly sins, though not directly stated in the Bible, are alluded to and can be taken from the Bible. Greed is wrong because you are to love and help the poor, your neighbor. If you are greedy, and suck in all the money and keep it all to yourself, you're not exactly helping the poor. Most of the rest of the deadly sins are the same sort of thing; Wrath isn't loving your neighbor/enemy, Envy gets in the way of loving your neighbor, Gluttony is about the same as Greed, Pride is loving yourself more then your neighbor, Lust... Well, Lust gets in the way of properly loving your neighbor.

I care. *grin* But only in that it interests me to know the history of religions.
Those are good points. Very nice.

Heh. I could say something horrible, but it's probably best not to...
