Curvaceous Cardinal Vices

Myopic. Derived from myopia, or short-sidedness. The blurring of things together. Kind of like calling every vice idolatry, isn't it?

Similarly, we could make the point that every vice is, in a way, stealing, even though that's clearly more like greed. Couldn't we?

I still think your logic is fundamentally flawed that building an idol is (supposedly) a sin of greed. Would it be a sin of greed later, when the temples themselves later amassed huge sums of wealth (making them, also, ripe for the looting)? Clearly, in the logic of the story, it's okay to give money to God. Y'know, so long as you don't gamble with it in church, I guess. But that's a whole 'nother testament. n.n

Again, you can make that connection if ya want. But it's still a stretch if you understand the meaning of that particular account.

[edit]No offense to Hmm. It's an awesome series!
