What do you think of this 7 deadly sins theory?

[ChicoFromThe305]

So most are if you only pay attention to the materialistic parts of these holidays you are basically worshipping the seven deadly sins.

Thanksgiving- gluttony (you eat excessively)

Valentines day- lust (people focus on more sex)

Christmas- greed (focusing on lots of presents)

Easter- envy (Christ was killed out of envy from the romans)

Labor day- sloth (everybody gets off work)

Halloween- wrath (it's about scary things, meant to put fear in people)

Your birthday- pride ( it's a day about yourself, your existence, it's pretty prideful to worship yourself if you ask me)

This is a theory but a huge coincidence if you believe in those.

It's not 7 it's 6...

King James Version Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

And you are correct on all counts although a little incomplete.

[sean1234]

Yea 7🤔

[ChicoFromThe305]

Well feel free to complete the theory lol

Thanksgiving- gluttony (you eat excessively)

-Native Americans hate Thanksgiving, can't forget about that one

Valentines day- lust (people focus on more sex)

-and this>>>The earliest possible origin story of Valentine’s Day is the pagan holiday Lupercalia. Occurring for centuries in the middle of February, the holiday celebrates fertility. Men would strip naked and sacrifice a goat and dog. Young boys would then take strips of hide from the sacrificed animals and use it to whip young women, to promote fertility.

Christmas- greed (focusing on lots of presents)

-Yes and also the birth of Hermes dionysus , Buddha etc...

Easter- envy (Christ was killed out of envy from the romans)

-Easter? More like Ishtar!

Labor day- sloth (everybody gets off work)

-bible says... Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work...

People will not work on labor day, but work on the sabbath. For many labor day is every Sunday.

Halloween- wrath (it's about scary things, meant to put fear in people)

-Druidic festival of the dead

Halloween, as we know it today, is a modernized version of the Druidic festival of the dead. The powerful Druid priests were deemed kings of the occult practitioners, and were known for worshipping evil spirits and sacrificing humans to their demon gods!

Your birthday- pride ( it's a day about yourself, your existence, it's pretty prideful to worship yourself if you ask me)

In ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome, birthdays were primarily reserved for gods and goddesses. These deities were honored with lavish feasts, rituals, and offerings. It was believed that on their birthdays, they would bestow blessings upon their followers.
Early Christians viewed birthdays as pagan rituals and discouraged their observance. However, as time went on, the Church adapted and incorporated birthday celebrations into religious practices. They began celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, which eventually led to the acceptance of individual birthdays as well.

[sean1234]

That last one tsk tsk tsk Christians. We don't really celebrates birthdays anymore.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Isn't eating a lot basically a thing on any holiday.

The same for celebrating consumerism and wanting lots of present for any holiday.

And there is also getting a day off for every holiday...

[ChicoFromThe305]

Kinda seems like there's a dark meaning behind these holidays and tried to cover it up with good ones, cause it's known people will fall into the materialistic things about it, it's just a theory tho

[Paris13]

I Love Halloween But Really Kind of----Evil, So Many Real Religious People Would Say. lolxxoo

[Paris13]

Thanks, Gag. xxoo

[IslaTheWitch]

I don't believe in 7 deadly sins... at least not in this set :D

[AviatorTom]

Interesting theory but you have Easter wrong. It was the local Jews that envied the power that Jesus was taking away from them, and Pontius Pilate placated them by having Jesus crucified.

[strateguy632]

your pattern mixed categories, "you eat" with "roman envy". doesn't align.

[NathanDavis]

tacos will bring me to hell then...

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yep I'll be there to collect the tacos before you drop with them tho, ima take em to heaven and enjoy em up there lol

[NathanDavis]

that's where they belong...

[ChicoFromThe305]

Lmao

[NathanDavis]

[ChicoFromThe305]

Lol.

[exitseven]

Let's face it, we could find something sinful about the 4th of July if we looked hard enough.

[DagonbroughtMehere]

I think We didn't get the full story and the Catholic church of old omitted much of what it translated.

[slatyb]

It's uninteresting. Sin isn't a real thing.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Whatever you gotta tell yourself

[BCRanger10]

Where do you get all this from?

[Simslover92]
