Gandhi's Seven Deadly Sins

In Judeo-Christian morality, the seven deadly sin are: anger, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, pride, and sloth. Indian political and spiritual leader Mohandas Karamachand Gandhi (1869-1948) devised his own list of traits most perilous to humanity:

  1. Wealth without Work
  2. Pleasure without Conscience
  3. Science without Humanity
  4. Knowledge without Character
  5. Politics without Principle
  6. Commerce without Morality
  7. Worship without Sacrifice


[Excerpt from The Uncyclopedia by Gideon Haigh]

The question is, "Are Gandhi's seven deadly sins still up to date for today's society?" If not, what would you add/remove/change?

FOR. THE. FUCKING. WIN.

So we all know that I, Hell, am completely redlining the radar of the Xtian right as a ne'er-do-well and all around moral failure.

I'm proud to say that I ping completely on all of Ghandi's 7 sins as well.

Yet another religion/set of morals I have defeated!
