Description

Greed What it is: Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness. Why you do it: You live in possibly the most pampered, consumerist society since the Roman Empire. Your punishment in Hell will be: You'll be boiled alive in oil. Bear in mind that it's the finest, most luxurious boiling oil that money can buy, but it's still boiling. Associated symbols & suchlike: Greed is linked with the frog and the color yellow. "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor." - Exodus 20:17 Enjoy

And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. "And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." And when the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said,"Then who can be saved?" And looking upon them Jesus said to them,"With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."(Matthew 19:23-26)

And Stone Cold said to the Rock: I will whoop your ass (Austin 3:16) I like those handcuffs...money holds power over you. The almighty dollar still rules. The barcode...hehe...neat.

I looked at all the images in this series. I just chose this one since it's the last and I can pretty much generalize my opinion for all of them. I don't agree with your views and motivation, but thats the world we live in. Artistically, I really like them. The images are all quite powerful, with or without intended meaning. I do have a couple questions. Where is 1 of 8? Where did you get the reference for colors & animals for each sin?

Hello fellow artist, Rob3d here, long time member I am currently doing an art show in second life to raise awareness for the Occupy wall street and Occupy together movements . I saw this and would love to show it there. The prizes don't amount to much in real world dollars. Around 20 dollars US for first place. If you like to show at the art show please send me an email robertj192@cox.net
