D. A. Carson quotes Richard Topping:

“Remember we live in a time when six of the seven deadly sins are medical conditions—and pride is a virtue.”

Reading this, I hurried to remind myself of the list of seven sins  Here it is:

1. Lust
2. Gluttony
3. Greed
4. Sloth
5. Wrath
6. Envy
7. Pride

Yes, it’s true: we’ve turned all but one into a disease.  And the last we’ve turned into a virtue.  We’re not guilty; we’re ill.  We’re not culprits; we’re victims.  We don’t need forgiveness; we need therapy.  We don’t need a change of heart; we need a change of treatment.

We’re psychologically sick.  It’s not our fault.  It’s our parents’ fault.  It’s society’s fault.  And deep down inside of us we’re good!

Gee, Officer Krupke!
