Even Dante was against abortion
I came across this as i was reading The Divine Comedy, and decided it was about how infant become real spiritual beings right from the get-go, and that God loves them and you shouldn't kill them.
Open thy boson to the truth that comes
Know, soon as in the embryo, to the brain
Articulation is complete, then turns
The primal Mover with a smile of joy
On such great work of nature; and imbreathes
New spirit replete with virtue, that what have
Active it finds, to its own substance draws;
And forms an individual soul, that lives,
And feels, and bends reflective of itself.
And that thou less mayest marvel at the world,
Mark the sun's heat; how that to wine doth change,
Mix'd with the moisture filter'd through the vine
-Dante Alighieri

"The 7 deadly sins are those transgressions which are fatal to spiritual progress. You probably commit some of them every day without thinking about the rich tradition of eternal damnation in which you're participating."
Maybe you should re-think your passionate grievances and address your own problems. It is easier to judge others than it is to judge oneself.
i thought of an eighth one too: hypocrisy.
sorry, Herr Anonymous, i didn't mean to bother you with my personal opinions in my personal blog. If you were offended in any way, let me know so that i can do it again in the near future.
Lindsay here. Okay. First of all. This is a blog. This is not in any way a forum or anything else. It's a journal. His journal. Where he can say whatever he wants to say. It's not saying that you have to accept it. Everything on the internet you don't have to accept. So in case you didn't quite get that...this is his OPINION. He can voice it cuz it's HIS BLOG. He's not talking DIRECTLY TO YOU. So yea, let's chill out. Secondly, I'm sure you have your moments of anger, procrastination, gluttony, lust, pride, greed and/or envy. Everyone does. So let's not go pointing out everyone else's problems when, like you said you should "addres your own problems." Take your own advice. And if you even try to come back at me with that same thing, I'm sticking up for a friend, so shove it. Oh and one more thing, the fact that you posted anonymously shows REAL maturity. So while you're addressing your own problems, you might wanna work on that one too. Thanks a bunch.
