Venial sins

Venial sins are sins, which barely qualify as sins (unlike the evil mortal sins), and therefore should be treated as good moral actions. People do them all the time, but are rarely punished for them, so the Catholic Church has adopted a "Sweep under that Basilica Carpet" Doctrine which teaches that people can commit these sins as long as they're cool with their local parishes' illegal BINGO contests (1st Prize- Not being killed) 
do good things God helps you every day of your life do as he says be a good child
== Punishment for Commitment of a Venial Sin ==
Even the most devote person has lapses of judgment that torment one to the very fiery pits of hell. These sins, such as murder and rape haunt one until death and the afterlife and are the subject of much debate concerning how one can rid oneself of the indelible mark that is mortal sin.
Then there are venial sins.
Assuming you remembered that you sinned at all, there are ways to redeem your soul from these laughably small sins. These include:
*Cold Shower
*Prayer (yeah right) 
*Con... Con.. CONFESSION!!!!
*Drugs
*Push-ups
*Binge Drinking
*Anal discharge of your bollocks
*Nark on the sinner next to you.
*Eternal Damnation or something of the like...
*Commit more sins
Of course, you could always pretend these sins never occurred and therefore nullify the effect. Satan and Jesus would remember, but one never really has the opportunity to sit down with those guys and really talk about things. Rather than admit to these oft-embarrassing and petite sins, most religious scholars agree: It is best to pretend like you never sinned at all.
Saint Thomas Aquinas, a famed Catholic theologian and Texas Hold'em enthusiast explains this precept in his 16th century manuscript, "Thy Fly Hast Fallen unto the Nethers of ye Pantaloons"
Tis divine to not sin, but as it were, perhaps thy sinning be best swepteth beneath a bloody rag or something of the like. When one ponders the issue, maybe the Jesus fellow was a bit of a prig. I mean, who doesn't sin? And Mary! A virgin to be sure! Methinks something devious hath been swept 'neath a rag.
== "All your souls are belong to us!" - The Catholic View of the World ==
For the pure of heart, a compilation of venial sins was created during the 1950's as the government's response to Rock 'n Roll. It failed, but the compilation remains the most complete collection of trivial and minor sins to date.
The Catholic Church has prescribed a list of venial sins based on a 2000-year-old book, century-old conventions, Lao Tzu, Ronald Reagan, several DC comic books, fourteen acid trips, a bootleg DVD of Ghostrider, a sprinkle of pixie dust and The DaVinci Code. Here is a brief, abridged version of the Catholic Cataclysm, entitled, "All your souls are belong to us." and the first authors note is "oh no. satan set us up da bomb!"
===Chapter I - The Sins of Being-Born that Way===
If you have been born to look different than other people and exhibit qualities which set you apart, you are a sinner. Though a venial sin, your unique personality traits make you dangerous. Please refrain from acting differently. We suggest you paint your house white and only read Bibles.
Examples of Sins of Born Uniqueness:
*Being Catholic
*Being Irish
*Being Asian
*Masturbating
*Owning a Cat
*Being a Woman
*Being Blind/Deaf
*Being a Man
*Being Gay
*Being Fat
FUN FACT!: Helen Keller went straight to hell because of this!

===Chapter III - The Sins of Enjoyment===
By this point, you must be thinking how difficult it is to subscribe to these rules. Don't, however think that the Catholic Church isn't here to help you. The Sins of Enjoyment are the most difficult to conquer, so here is an easy song approved by the Catholic Church to help parishoners avoid the Sins of Enjoyment:
*If it's fun, stop.
*If it's fun, stop.
*If it's fun, stop.
*Or ye shall be raped by fi-re.
Examples of Sins of Enjoyment:
*Love

So you think you can strut around the earth like hot-shit, eh? You know what's hot?

*Failure to thank Jesus for God Mode in video games
*Allowing Women to Vote
*Tolerating Arabs
*Hogging the Blue Crayon

===Chapter V - Sins of Stupidity===
Sometimes, humans are weak and do things that make God question his decision to make us in His image. For instance: The Washington Monument - Giant Dildo perhaps? Don't worry, God loves everyone in spite of their lapses, so he won't get angry... that is of course unless you believe in some "other" god (with an emphasis on the lower-case 'G')
Examples of Sins of Stupidity:
*Hitting on a soft 19 in blackjack
*Accidentally typing Chuck Norris without capitalizing the Chuck and the Norris
*Being a contestant on an NBC gameshow
*Using Mac
*Being Steve Jobs
*Believing yourself to be pretty, no matter what they say. (If they're all saying you are ugly, they are probably right)
*Belief in more than 150 Pokemon
*Belief in World Peace (that's for God to decide, NOT YOU!)
*Belief that thou art greater at "Rayman: Raving Rabbits" than Chuck Norris
THE ULTIMATE PUNISHMENT
*If thou hast committed any of the aforementioned sins, thou shalt be roundhouse kicked by the Lord God Chuck Norris
