The seven sins can all be boiled down to just greed.
Lust: greed for sex/love Sloth: greed for relaxation Envy: greed for other people's things Wrath: greed for violence Gluttony: greed for sustenance Pride: greed for affirmation Greed: greed for money (though avarice is a better word)
I really like the Buddhist take, the three poisons. Greed, hatred, and ignorance.
There are a lot of different ways to state each one, but damn if those don't sound like the RGB components of the varied spectrum of shit we have going on in the world.
Greed is greed, which is also a sin. Gluttony specifically refers to food. You're just lying at this point, intentionally or not, you're spreading misinformation.
There are 5 specific types of gluttony, and none of them involve wealth hoarding.
Laute - This is eating costly and luxurious foods when a sandwich would tide you over. It's one thing to have a fine meal every once in a while, but it's a bit much if it's every night. The extra money spent on the finest foods your palate desires could go towards feeding someone who has nothing.
Studiose - Eating too daintily, which means you're an excessively picky eater who wastes great energy on meal preparation or pursuing delicacies. Energy that'd be more wisely used elsewhere.
Nimis - This is what people typically think of when it comes to gluttony. These are those who eat beyond the point of satiety and fullness.
Praepropere - These are those who eat at the improper time or too soon after eating an earlier meal.
Ardenter - Those who eat too eagerly and derive all of life's satisfaction from their eating experiences. I take this one too mean when they are ready to eat, eating is all they can think about.
Please stop making shit up. If you don't understand what a word means, it's ok to do some research or even just keep your mouth shut to avoid spreading misinformation.
If you've got no idea what you're talking about, it's ok to not talk.
This guy reads Aquinas.
i don't think this is true.
the sin of gluttony come from the logismoi of gastrimargia, which means "madness of the stomache" and it always was about wasteful consumption of food.
the hording wealth and resources is also a sin, but the very specfic "greed"
My favorite thing about the Fediverse is bumping into people who know more than me and learning these cool new things. Thanks for sharing.
There's a lot of the bible's scriptures that I believe are sullied by deliberate misinterpretation. Apparently that Leviticus verse was about pedophilia and not homosexuality. Which makes sense as they were probably displeased with the amount of young sex ancient Greek and Rome had.
While the criticisms are correct, they’re also missing the important context that historically, the sin was heavily associated with hoarding or consuming extravagant amounts while leaving others to go hungry.
Very easy to confuse Gluttony with Greed, or Anger with Wrath. But they are each unique.

Easy way to keep them straight:
Gilligan - Gluttony
Skipper - Wrath
Ginger - Lust
Mary Ann - Envy
Mr. Howell - Greed
Mrs. Howell - Sloth
The Professor - Pride
Kinda feels like the Skipper is Gluttony, AND wrath.
You look at bone skinny Gilligan and thing glutton?
That'd be an easy way to remember them if Gilligan's Island was relevant, but I'd be hard-pressed to find anyone my generation (Millennial) that'd seen it. Unless there's been some sort of revival that I'm unaware of.
While I agree for anyone younger, Millennials may actually be a more knowledgeable group than you'd first expect. I remember it being on quite a bit during the day (looking out up, it was syndicated on TBS and TNT), and as part of the "Nick-at-Nite" lineup.
This should be more culturally relevant I think.
That's why greed is also a sin.
Pretty much all the deadly sins modern christians will violate. The bible is just a suggestion book to them.
it’s okay, since they’re Christian’s they’re good people, and it’s forgiven

Ohhh, so god was a woke Islamodem Communazi socialist! /s
Doesn't that overlap with greed?
There are a lot of responses that this is just wrong and maybe that is true but I see merit in this. The thing with greed it is generally means wanting things one does not have where as gluttony is overindulgence in what one has. Gluttony being limited to food seems then a limitation of the ages. From my modern perspective overindulgence in anything is very similar. An opposition from moderation. Wanting for what one does not have and I sorta feel for it to be bad has to be something someone does not necessarilly need or wanting for far more than one needs feels like it could be money or land or food or cars or whatever. So is this technically wrong. I honestly do not know. But from my life experience I see it as appropriate.
