Before you read this, check out my post about Dante and look at the comments.
I thought it might be fun to pull apart the comment of someone who clearly detests me, but also interestingly enough seems to know me, and probably I him/her/ugly. (I'll point out here that people at this school hating me is very very low on my list of things that bother me).
Right off the bat, i'd like to say that nowhere in my unexpected rabble-rousing post did i claim to be infallible, no human is, and the closest one we have to perfection died last weekend. Had i said that i was indeed better than everyone, maybe He/She/Ugly's eigth point -hypocrisy- might have held water.
Let's go through my tickets to Hell one by one, shall we?
-Wrath
In accordance with my apparent yet strangely absent claim to be perfect, He/She/Ugly seems to think i should be able to rise above the human tendency to become agry when its territory, family, or morals are compromised. Gee, you're right, i must not be as perfect as i didn't say i was. Oh, and i won't point out that you seem extremely wrathful that i made this post, because that might undermine the validity of everything you said, thus rendering the rest of this counterpost useless, and i've already put too much work into it to want
that to happen.
-Sloth
This one is serious. One sees all sorts of crazy things in the college atmostphere, but a student who doesn't finish his work the day it's handed out? Measures must be taken. I submit that henceforth
any college student with work assigned and undone be put to death
immediately, as Satan should not be deprived of such a prize any longer than he has to. It embarrasses me to think of the long tradition of strict hard work, utter dedication, and isolation from any non-academic pursuits found in the collegiate arena. I am ashamed. He/She/Ugly knows me personally (i believe) and is thusly privy to knowledge the rest of you may be unaware of. In my first semester my Fatal Transgression of Sloth cause me to fail all of my classes, except for the five (out of five) that i passed with good marks.
-Gluttony
Ooh.. as i was finishing up my Sloth rebuttle i was just tingling to hurry it up and get to this one. Haha. I love this. I bet He/She/Ugly had to think long and hard to come up with something for this Sin, as any knowledge of me will make one aware that i don't drink
ever, i don't smoke or do any drugs of any sort
ever, i don't have sex with everyone i meet (or anyone at all, more specifically)... and i'm in college. College, the one place where you can literally get away with absolutely anything, and in a few years it's forgiven. "Oh, it was in college, we were all crazy then." Yeah... oh and i gave up meat for Lent. I heart meat. A lot. Then went 40 days without it in the name of religion. Good try, He/She/Ugly, but i don't think you can send me to Hell for my favorite soda. (If you actually meant Mountain Dew, which is not what you said.)
-Lust
"Hmmm.... flirting counts". Weak, He/She/Ugly, weak. This Sin is meant more for adultery than slight mutual innuendo amongst young adults. Or so i, the fallible human, would think, but as you're apparently some sort of Supreme Being who is both fully cognizant of and above the laws set by God for men, i imagine you know better than i.
-Pride
What a terrible example. Patriotism. Love for my country is a Mortal Sin? I think what He/She/Ugly was
trying to say was that i displayed "jingoism" which is the applicable word for someone who prideful of their country to a fault. If you had used that word i'd be at a loss for a retort, cuz you're damn right i'm too proud of my country. But anyway, thank you for having no vocabulary and allowing me to expose yet another flaw.
-Greed
Again, i'm scum. Who on this Earth could be so vile as to want money? It's piggish of me to want a way to (immediately) pay for this school, have food, have shelter -you know, the whole basic-needs-for-human-life thang, and (in the long run) give to charities and whatnot and do my best to make sure as many other people can be fed as my power will allow. I would feel kinda dumb saying that, if i didn't already have a large post about it. (Scroll down, it's really there!)
-Envy
I find this one a little disturbing... what talent am i low on? The only action i mentioned in the post was abortion... Am i bad at killing babies? And i'm going to Hell for that? Something seems hideously backwards here, my Mortal Sin is that i'm not good at breaking a Commandment. Sorry He/She/Ugly, i can't quite get what you're saying. I'll say something though; while i don't possess and talent worthy of, say, national recognition, i am a very athletic kid, an accomplished drummer, modestly skillfull linguist,
and i can spell "Dew". I guess you're right, there are some talents i'm low on. Like skateboarding.
-Hipocrisy
Oops, already covered it. Well while i'm here i might as well ponder why He/She/Ugly thought God hadn't done a good enough job laying out his own rules... are you better than God? Do you know more than him? That's impressive.
