The flyer about the Vatican reminds me of a flyer that went around
here listing all of the sins that would get you damned forever. They
included not only murder, incest, and adultery, but also things like
missing church, being friends with someone of another religion,
enjoying sex, and knowing someone who had had premarital sex or who
had sex for purposes other than reproduction. There were about 200 or
300 sins, and there was a contest in the local medieval militia to see
who had done the most (a guy named Yvonne Chort won, with I believe
over 100 sins - or was it over 200?).

Sorry this is so far after the original, but I'm really behind on my
news. I do wish I had a copy of all those sins so I could keep track ...

p.s. there's an evangalist who comes on campus here (name of Tom
Short) who says essentially the same things (although I think it's ok
to enjoy sex once you're married). It seems he was given a little jade
figurine by a friend who travelled through Africa. Being an idol (it
was man-shaped), it was naturally evil, and since he didn't feel right
selling it (it was evil and satan's work, and all that), he crushed it
and buried it in his backyard. I wonder what he thinks of department
store manniquins?
