Ray's Thought for the Day - Sin
Let’s see. What semi-great truths should I reveal to myself, today? Er. O h well. Maybe I can’t think of any new semi-great truths. So perhaps I should do some Patterning. All righty then.
Yesterday, was hot and humid. These parts tied a record high temperature, ho hum. So naturally I was much concerned with inner thigh chafing associated with “werkin’ in the sun.” But now, since I am alert to the possibility of inner thigh chafing, I plan ahead and also walk bow-legged during the performance of my werk, out in the stifling heat and humidity of these parts. Today, the high is forecast to be 91, but who knows about that. The weather robot requires re-calibaration, fer sure
It’s that time of year for Crumby. So my bosom companion is like unto a cornered rat, but more dangerous. Crumby is undergoing his annual Worthiness Test and the Mercury Transit incident really set him off. Red won’t let him come in the house. He’s too dangerous.
Hey! All righty then, a semi-great truth, maybe, just epiphany-ed me. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah, those twain evil cities that may have been destroyed by the one god because the citizens of those municipalities were so wicked. Many, maybe, were the sins practiced by those wicked rascals. Those sins the Sodomites and Gomorrahites indulged in, maybe, were, in alphabetical order: adultery, anger, bestiality, bearing false witnessing (lying), blasphemy, boasting, calumny, cheating, coveting neighbor’s wife, coveting in general, cruelty, deceit, denying the one god, detraction, drunkardliness, envy, fornication, gambling, greed, gluttony, gossip, idolatry, jealousy, love of money, lechery, lust, lying more than once on the same topic, masturbation, murder, pride, revenge, robbing, rushing to judgement, rustling, selfishness, slander, sloth, sodomy (all kinds), spiritual neglect, stealing, unbelief and usury. Plus, there may be some more sins they we're indulging in that I am not aware of.
See why the Druids have whittled the sins down to just two, lying and gluttony? Two is a manageable number. And, lying and gluttony are sins that are readily subject to peer review, unlike, for example, covetousness and masturbation. They are both public sins, readily discernible and therefore handily punishable. What should the penalty be for these sins, lying and gluttony?
Easy that.

Sin footnote: Is incest a sin? What about cannabalism? What about chewing with your mouth open? How about putting your boogers on the wall above the urinal? Is smartaleckiness a sin? What about smarminess? These are more examples of too many sins or potential sins. Leave it at two.
