And we could care less what your personal standpoint is.

And you're confusing the seven Capital (or Deadly) Sins with mortal sins. They are two different concepts. The Capital Sins (Pride, Wrath, Lust, Envy, Avarice, Gluttony, and Sloth) are the "root sins" from which all actual individual sins come. Mortal sins are those serious sins, as opposed to lesser venial sins.

(And drunkeness falls under the sin of gluttony - overindulgence in food or drink.)

But since you obviously don't know nor care what the Catholic Church says, I don't see why you feel compelled to speak out on this at all.

Remember, better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and have everyone know with certainty.

I don't think anyone has to "paint" you as anything. You do a fine job of painting yourself as an ignorant troll without anyone's help!
It doesn't say God approved of Noah's drunkenness, does it?

As for profanity, look no further than the Second Commandment: Thou Shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in Vain.

Thus using the name of God or speaking of sacred matters casually or disrespectfully is a sin against the Lord (whether it is "socially acceptable" or not).

I thought your church just re labled the deadly sins to mortal sins. Honest mistake. I don't see the need to resort to name calling. It's pretty childish to insult somebody while you correct them. but I guess you're one of those catholics that would've offed people's heads during the crusades. you're pretty mean spirited. I suggest grabbing your nearest pitchfork and torch... and repeatadly yell "Burn Witch Burn!"

And using the God's name in vain has NOTHING to do with profanity. You are grossly convoluting social ettiquite with God's laws. Using the God's name in vain is acting like a christian... acting like you're with god... for selfish purposes like financial gain.

Granted paul said it's best not to use profanity while ministering... but to say profanity is using god's name in vain is WAY out of context. So yea... as far as that fool comment... follow your own advice

What if your an alchoholic and you need alchohol to function properly. I understand to get to be an alchoholic is a sin but, once your one and you need the alchohol to function properly, it seems you dont have many choices, I know people who were told that they mite die if they go into rehab. So you know just curious since we were on the topic.

Paladin, I don't think that I ever answered your question. I just disagreed with with your reasoning for drunkeness being mortal. In the instance that you discribeI do not see how it could be mortal. Your friend did not know his/her limits. (Alcohol can sneak up on you and sometimes you might not know it until you go to stand up.) It sounds like there was no intent on the part of your friend therefore I don't think that the gluttony was mortal.

[Socrates]

Whether a sin of drunkenness is venial or mortal depends on factors such as how drunk the person gets and how much he intended his drunkenness.

Carelessly over-indulging in alcohol would likely be a venial sin, while deliberately setting out to get smashed out of one's mind would be mortal.
