Lust

The Seventh Terrace Of Purgatory

In the final Terrace Of Purgatory, the lustful must walk through a wall of flames.  Dante walks through the wall of flames, and then he can leave Purgatory.  He is then able to ascend into Paradise, and travel through the nine celestial spheres of Heaven.
Lust is our Doodle Sin for Sunday, September 21st.

September's Seven Deadly Sins Doodle Week 

starts tomorrow!

Are you ready?!?

Doodle Week Theme: Saturday = Pride

The seventh and final of September's Seven Deadly Sins is Pride.
This will be our Doodle Word for Saturday, September 27th.

From Wikipedia:
"In almost every list pride (or hubris or vanity) is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and indeed the ultimate source from which the others arise. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to give compliments to others though they may be deserving of them, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God). Dante's definition was "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor." In Jacob Bidermann's medieval miracle play, Cenodoxus, pride is the deadliest of all the sins and leads directly to the damnation of the titulary famed Parisian doctor. In perhaps the best-known example, the story of Lucifer, pride (his desire to compete with God) was what caused his fall from Heaven, and his resultant transformation into Satan. Vanity and narcissism are prime examples of this sin. In Dante's Divine Comedy, the penitent were forced to walk with stone slabs bearing down on their backs in order to induce feelings of humility. "

So, hope these Wikipedia definitions

this week have given you some ideas

for your Seven Deadly Sins Doodles!  

Get ready for some Doodle Sin!

Doodle Week Theme: Friday = Envy

The sixth of September's Seven Deadly Sins is Envy.
This will be our Doodle Word for Friday, September 26th.

From Wikipedia:
"Like greed, envy may be characterized by an insatiable desire; they differ, however, for two main reasons. First, greed is largely associated with material goods, whereas envy may apply more generally. Second, those who commit the sin of envy resent that another person has something they perceive themselves as lacking, and wish the other person to be deprived of it. Dante defined this as "love of one's own good perverted to a desire to deprive other men of theirs." In Dante's Purgatory, the punishment for the envious is to have their eyes sewn shut with wire, because they have gained sinful pleasure from seeing others brought low. Aquinas described envy as "sorrow for another's good"

Doodle Week Theme: Thursday = Wrath

The fifth of September's Seven Deadly Sins is Wrath.
This will be our Doodle Word for Thursday, September 25th

From Wikipedia:
"Wrath (or anger) may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. These feelings can manifest as vehement denial of the truth, both to others and in the form of self-denial, impatience with the procedure of law, and the desire to seek revenge outside of the workings of the justice system (such as engaging in vigilantism) and generally wishing to do evil or harm to others. The transgressions borne of vengeance are among the most serious, including murder, assault, and in extreme cases, genocide. Wrath is the only sin not necessarily associated with selfishness or self-interest (although one can of course be wrathful for selfish reasons, such as jealousy, closely related to the sin of envy). Dante described vengeance as "love of justice perverted to revenge and spite". In its original form, the sin of wrath also encompassed anger pointed internally rather than externally. Thus suicide was deemed as the ultimate, albeit tragic, expression of wrath directed inwardly, a final rejection of God's gifts."

Doodle Week Theme: Wednesday = Sloth

The fourth of September's Seven Deadly Sins is Sloth
This will be our Doodle Word for Wednesday, September 24th

From Wikipedia:
"More than other sins, the definition of sloth has changed considerably since its original inclusion among the seven deadly sins. In fact it was first called the sin of sadness or despair. It had been in the early years of Christianity characterized by what modern writers would now describe as melancholy: apathy, depression, and joylessness — the last being viewed as being a refusal to enjoy the goodness of God and the world he created. Originally, its place was fulfilled by two other aspects, acedia and sadness. The former described a spiritual apathy that affected the faithful by discouraging them from their religious work. Sadness (tristitia in Latin) described a feeling of dissatisfaction or discontent, which caused unhappiness with one's current situation. When Thomas Aquinas selected acedia for his list, he described it as an "uneasiness of the mind", being a progenitor for lesser sins such as restlessness and instability. Dante refined this definition further, describing sloth as being the "failure to love God with all one's heart, all one's mind and all one's soul." He also described it as the middle sin, and as such was the only sin characterised by an absence or insufficiency of love. In his "Purgatorio", the slothful penitents were made to run continuously at top speed.
The modern view of the vice, as highlighted by its contrary virtue of zeal or diligence, is that it represents the failure to utilize one's talents and gifts. For example, a student who does not work beyond what is required (and thus fails to achieve his or her full potential) could be labeled slothful.
Current interpretations are therefore much less stringent and comprehensive than they were in medieval times, and portray sloth as being more simply a sin of laziness or indifference, of an unwillingness to act, an unwillingness to care (rather than a failure to love God and his works). For this reason sloth is now often seen as being considerably less serious than the other sins, more a sin of omission than of commission.
The sloth, a South American mammal, was named after this sin by Roman Catholic explorers."

Doodle Week Theme: Tuesday = Greed

The third of September's Seven Deadly Sins is Greed
This will be our Doodle Word for Tuesday, September 23rd

From Wikipedia:
"Greed (or avarice, covetousness) is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However, greed (as seen by the church) is applied to the acquisition of wealth in particular. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that greed was "a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things." In Dante's Purgatory, the penitents were bound and laid face down on the ground for having concentrated too much on earthly thoughts. "Avarice" is more of a blanket term that can describe many other examples of greedy behavior. These include disloyalty, deliberate betrayal, or treason, especially for personal gain, for example through bribery . Scavenging and hoarding of materials or objects, theft and robbery, especially by means of violence, trickery, or manipulation of authority are all actions that may be inspired by greed."

Doodle Week Theme: Monday = Gluttony

The second of September's Seven Deadly Sins is Gluttony
This will be our Doodle Word for Monday, September 22nd

From Wikipedia:
"Derived from the Latin gluttire, meaning to gulp down or swallow, gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste. In the Christian religions, it is considered a sin because of the excessive desire for food, or its withholding from the needy.
Depending on the culture, it can be seen as either a vice or a sign of status. Where food is relatively scarce, being able to eat well might be something to take pride in (although this can also result in a moral backlash when confronted with the reality of those less fortunate). Where food is routinely plentiful, it may be considered a sign of self control to resist the temptation to over-indulge.
Medieval church leaders (e.g., Thomas Aquinas) took a more expansive view of gluttony, arguing that it could also include an obsessive anticipation of meals, and the constant eating of delicacies and excessively costly foods. He went so far as to prepare a list of six ways to commit gluttony, including

• Praepropere, eating too soon;
• Laute (washedly), eating finely;
• Nimis, eating too much;
• Ardenter, eating burningly;
• Studiose (keenly), eating daintily;
• Forente (boringly), eating wildly."

 Who knew there were so many ways to be a glutton?

Doodle Week Theme: Sunday = Lust

The first of September's Seven Deadly Sins is Lust.
This will be our Doodle Word for Sunday, September 21st.

Lust (or lechery) is usually thought of as involving obsessive or excessive thoughts or desires, often of a sexual nature. The original translation from Dante's Divine Comedy was extravagance, and it later transformed into lust.

Evil, Wicked and Downright Nasty

What about some kind of dark humour? I suggest a doodle theme for dark, black, evil, wickedness. Something like killing off that jerk who.... (interrupted you, bumped into you and didn't say sorry, wouldn't let you use your coupon... etc.) Lets do a theme on day this coming Doodle Week for Stick Figure Death Scenes. Or, something like that.
