Is there an eighth deadly sin?
Philosophers, poets, authors and theologians have written about the Seven Deadly Sins lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, anger, envy and pride and the damage that they do to the soul since the fourth century.
But what about in 2006? Is there another deadly sin that should be added to the list in modern times? Let us know what you think. E-mail your thoughts to the Deseret Morning News religion writers at respond@desnews.com. Please include your name, phone number and e-mail address.
