Hey, I know a song with those words, but it would be a sin to sing it since it's got an annoying melody.

You know...I was just thinking. If you bought too many groceries, that would be considered gluttony, hence sinful.
There should be a church commission convened to determine the correct amount of groceries that one may purchase before becoming sinful.

But doesn't Christian Capitalism say you should spend as much as possible so that other people will have your money? Aren't we obligated to waste money so that others might be enriched?

Yes, pride would result from the fact that you could do it, while someone else couldn't.

Does the "no pork products rule" only apply to "people food?"
What if you were buying a "pig ear" for your puppy dog? Would they be able to "scan" that without being offended?
More importantly, "is" putting "random words" into "air quotes" a "sin?"

Is it a sin to try to scan your kids to see what the suggested manufacturer's retail price is?
Why do stores frown on grocery cart races in the parking lot?
What is turkey bowling, and does it involve live or frozen turkeys?

It is a "sin" to include "punctuation" in "air quotes" unless the "entire sentence" is part of the "quote".

Are "you" "sure"? I "always" get "confused" by "that" rule "of" grammar.

On "The Simpsons" when Maggie is "scanned" during the opening "credits" the "price" is $847.63. This is "based" on the "average price" of "infant-rearing" per "month" in "1989" when the show "debuted".

Grocery shopping is sinful if you spend more than 10% of your income on groceries because you would be spending more money on food than giving to God and thus honoring food more than God which would be idolatrous and I have another question: are run-on sentences sinful?
