Here's some questions I think even good people have to list:
o Have you ever cheated on a boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse?
Though many have not cheated on a spouse, by the very nature of 'boy/girl friends' you pretty much HAVE to have cheated on them unless you married
them.
o Do you donate time or money to charities?
Though many have donated at one time, unless you do so regularly you should answer this as no.
o Have you stolen anything from an employer or friend?
EVERYONE who has ever worked has walked off with at least a pen, post it note, paperclip. Basically if you said no here you've got a bad memory, only
worked for yourself, or are independently wealthy.
o Are you good at telling lies?
Note it doesn't say you did tell lies, only are you good at it.
o Do you look at pornography?
Though I don't look at p0rn, I have seen some porn.
o Do you often lose your temper?
Anyone who drives a car has to answer yes to this. If you picked no, you may be a liar.
o Do you use God's name in vain (ex. "God damn it," "Oh my God")?
Even non-swearers say 'OMG'.
o Have you wished bad things upon your fellow countrymen?
Rapist, child molester? If you've heard of someone doing that, your answer is 'yes'.
o Have you recently done something that you've criticized others for doing?
Everyone has done this, so it depends on how you pick 'recently'. To say no is to lie.
o Have you ever tricked someone into thinking you were someone whom you are not?
Anyone who's dated or applied for a job has done this to small degrees at least.
o It's okay to punch someone if they "have it coming."
Note it doesn't say 'you have punched someone', only "it's OK" - say a wife beater or someone hits your sister.
o It's okay to cut a family member out of your life if they have done something that you strongly disagree with.
Who hasn't stopped talking to a family member at least for a time. They know how to push buttons. Note it doesn't say 'forever'. If you've ever
done it you have to answer it's 'ok'.
o It is acceptable to use false flattery to get ahead.
Perhaps not everyone has done this, but many will find it acceptable and may even have advised a cranky family member to pretend they like their boss.
So clicking no is a lie.
==========
So maybe some people who are wearing halos might want to take it again if they want to keep fighting evil.
I note that some people didn't list
their full summary. What sin is that? Seeing themselves as nearly perfect.
Pride. Yep. pride with a touch of envy (wanting to be like the real saints so badly you fool yourself?)
If you look at the sins themselves they include a LARGE helping of thought crime.
Lust - excessive thoughts or desires of sex. It's not human to not havea lot of thoughts at least during the puberty phase. Even good girls,
virgins have thoughts.
Gluttony - this one, usig the Thomas Aquinas view is impossible to avoid:
o
Praepropere - eating too soon
o
Studiose - eating too daintily (?)
Greed - played bingo in church? Pwned.
Sloth - incl sadness and despair.
Wrath - incl even internal feelings of spite.
Pride - hard to avoid this.
Oh well, fun, if not self-revelatory
