Today the Docs start episode 1 of a mini series on the seven deadly sins. We will dive into each sin with information from both a psychological and spiritual lens. The first episode focuses on Gluttony and how our culture has turned away from God to embrace and celebrate sin. The culture of death encourages overindulgence in many areas and changes the definition of what ails people to make their disorder acceptable and even popular. We are prone to sin via concupiscence but no matter how far we fall, our Lord is waiting for us to turn back to him. Seek truth and there your will find hope and healing that will last a lifetime!

Created in the image and likeness of our God, humans hold inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and must not be used as mere commodities by one group of individuals for their own financial or pleasurable gain. We look at the detrimental views and actions of the Culture of Death as well as the destructive aftermath that befalls those affected by the barbaric evil driving people to use innocent people for profit.

Today the Docs take a deeper dive into Communism and how this theory uses psychology to manipulate people into acting against our human dignity. The basic premise of our creation, as beings created in the image and likeness of God, is negated by Communism which is a direct contradiction to our existence. This belief puts us at odds with our own existence which creates a hostile dichotomy between God's Truth and Communisms Lie that will exude tension at the very core of each individual who tries to accept Communism until they are able to rectify this situation by embracing the Truth once and for all. Unresolved internal conflicts always show themselves as outward displays of bitterness, anger, hostility, hatred, irrational outbursts, stubbornness, refusal to dialogue, etc.
