Pride. Some might consider it the worst of all the sins. Certainly Dante did, when he wrote his Divine Comedy.

But that’s the trick about sins. The worst ones are tolerated more than the lesser ones. Lust is treated more severely than Pride. After all, no one’s ever been hurt by someone’s pride, have they? But that’s the problem. While you might ( Read more... )

[This is his first and maybe only video post. He's not in his room, though. He doesn't like you people that much. Instead, he's sitting up on deck, watching the stars. There's a rare smile on his face, as he's excited about what's coming. Not now...but soon. Very soon.]

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and ( Read more... )

When you were at home, that is, not in this place, what did you have? Money? Power? Sex? A great sense of self importance because you could do what you wished? [He hesitates here and there's a shuffling of papers.]

What were you able to bring here? Yourself. A place to live. And a few worthless possessions that might or might not have mattered to ( Read more... )

What a disgusting display. Celebrations for the New Year consisting of alcohol soaked resolutions and gluttonous, sinful behavior. Is there nothing else to be done? Are your lives so meaningless, so worthless, that you have to drown them out with that substance?

Disgusting.

When you leave, will your god forgive you?

Will it matter?

Radix Malorum Est Cupiditas

It is an offense that the children of today read fairie stories in which a princess supposedly kisses a frog who transforms into a handsome prince, thereby whisking her away to a life of wealth. This is a transparent sham. History identifies frogs as the clear representatives of greed, and by bestowing a bond with greed ( Read more... )

Were you faithful to God, angels of such rebellious natures? Did heaven spit you out, while hell refused you? We were snatched up, denied our lives and made blind to the worlds we came from. And here we sit, letting our baser urges take us over. Oh yes, I know that it could be worse. I've seen worse ( Read more... )

[He's found himself a place to sit and the background noise is minimal.] Such a Sunday. And what beautiful scenery we have to take in. Sergeant, you believe yourself a man of God, do you not? Perhaps you would like to join me at a service this evening?

[He pauses to take a small drink.]

German...such a wonderful language, as well.

It makes me wonder ( Read more... )

Trapped in some comedic version of Hell. Unfortunately, I find nothing funny at all about this. There is nothing amusing about it. It's sickening to see, frankly, what humanity sinks to when presented with such conditions. Lies and deception. God would be ashamed of His creatures.

It seems this is my lot. My punishment. And I will bear that cross ( Read more... )
