Talk:Sloth (deadly sin)

message: In the Catholicism section, "animosity towards God" seems to be used in a positive sense, as in being a desirable attribute.  "Animosity" means anger or enmity, which I do not believe a good Catholic would direct at God.
Is this a misquote or misunderstand?
Perhaps we need a verb here e.g. "show animosity towards God".

Ecclesiastes 11:4
I don't think this is about "dreamers" as it is said in this article:
"The sluggard (lazy person) will share this fate with the talkative persons, with dreamers that ″watch the wind″ or ″regard the clouds″"
I think it's about people who are overly analytical, who worry too much.

thread_title:  Depression 

message: The American theologian Harvey Cox wrote an essay, "On Not Leaving It To the Snake" on how the sin of Adam and Eve can be interpreted as sloth. Cox' argument is that in the myth of the Garden of Eden, Eve let the serpent talk her into eating the fruit, and Adam let Eve talk him into eating. Neither of them took repsonsibility for their moral choice, each of them passing the decision to another. In this interpretation, sloth is in some respects is worse than pride. Pride, at least, is an active sin. Sloth is passive -- letting the snake make the moral decision. Would something like this be worth adding to the article?

message: I'm rather new at this talk stuff but I feel the need to make a comment. This page is really poorly written. Aside from the Bible verses rendered in links it seems to assume the truthiness of Christianity. I don't want to hazzard an edit myself, being a noob, but I think it's worth looking at.Stellar Duck (talk) 00:54, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

text: Agreed. The references to the Bible should be references made by notable persons who have linked them specifically to sloth. The references right now may seem rather randomly chosen, and have only a weak link to sloth. Narssarssuaq (talk) 14:41, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Liable to assume the truth of Christianity given that it's discussing a topic in Christian theology.  If you want to analyse socio-political ideas of sloth across multiple cultures, a somewhat broader page might be in order, with a link to this one.  62.196.17.197 (talk) 14:57, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

message: These appear to be the same concept.  Suggesting a merge of the stub (now Sloth (mental state)) into the larger (Sloth (deadly sin)); perhaps a move afterwards to Sloth (mental state) would be OK. Closeapple (talk) 11:21, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

message: This painting and the parable it's based on have nothing to do with sloth. The workers (I like how "lazy peasants" is quoted, where did that come from?) are sleeping after sowing the field, and their enemy is sowing tares (vetch). Unless a suitable reference can be found I move this be removed. AnyyVen (talk) 00:22, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

message: sorry for interrupt, the main characteristic is not sloth i think "Sloth ignores the seven gifts of grace given by the Holy Ghost (wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge, piety, fortitude, and fear of the Lord); such disregard slows spiritual progress towards life—to neglect manifold duties of charity towards the neighbour, and animosity towards God." but pride, you have a great pace luck and throne but you boasting for other's sin etc make you doesn't deserve and make you have 8 sin mouth ... or word ... just my opinion afaik QuaMbear (talk) 10:07, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
