I heard somewhere that lust was replaced by bigotry. Any comments?

They're the same, like God's Law and morality, they don't need updating.

There are no passages in the bible that speak to the 7 deadly sins. That is a purely Catholic doctrine. Along with the reverence of Mary, prayer to the saints, confessing to someone they call father, and whatever other pagan things they added in for good measure.

the list is probably still good ...
if there was a critisism of it, the list might be more about symptons that th eproblem
another list might be
1) lack of contentment and trust in God and desire for other things
2) lack of thankfulness for what God has done in your life, in creation and for the cross in particular
3) lack of enjoyment in gloifying and worshiping God
4) lack of ability to see God work in others
5) tendency toward God substitutes (idols of various types)
6) lack of hunger for His word
7) lack of desire for prayer
these still need a work of God to change one;s heart
in order to serve him

I don't know about the other 6 but stupidity should be at the top of the list.

sins are sins. They dont change overtime...however, people seem to be accepting and doing alot of them overtime.. Some sins are no longer thought of as sins in many societies because of how common they have become and the amount of people who actually commit sin are...
