And 5, 6 and 7 are essentially the same.
And considering alcohol is a drug, does that mean Jesus (and virtually every religous person) is a sinner?

Maybe 'Abuse' is the operative word? But since these are mortal sins the one time you do it for the pleasure or to small excess and you are abusing the drug and going to hell? It is not like a 'oh i only did it a few times' kind of thing here. This is now on par with MURDER! lol
Besides, don't ALL of these fall within the 7 deadly sins? They, by comparision, actually seemed pretty universal (almost secular) and not as religiously codified as a lot of things - like the 10 commandments.
I could have come up with a better expanded set of '7 more deadly sins' for a grade 6 religion class project! These are horrible! They don't even follow the compact and poignant format of the original 7!?
