This is a question Greed

Buzzkillington says: "I once worked for Pizza Hut... Whats the the worst thing you've ever done for money?" And while we're here, tell us about greedy people you know. Money or pie, it doesn't matter.

Money is greed. Pies is gluttony.
What kind of world are we living in when people don't even know what sin they're enjoying? Christ alive.

Didn't read the question properly.
It's technically avarice with money though isn't it? I thought greed was general. Guess I was wrong.

well it is a form of greed relating to money and 'deadly sin' wasn't mentioned in the qotw

Avarice is just another word for covetousness
Greed is the catch-all sin of craving unwarranted material possessions.
Wanting lots of food is a distinct thing called Gluttony.

Hope this clears things up.

Does that mean...
That greed is wanting more pie than you need and gluttony is actually eating it?

Yish.

Balls. The sin used to be called avarice and the papists still use "avaritia" when they're drooling their filth in Latin.

Indifference is also a sin
so I guess a pretty sinful one.

hmmm...
I think that if you take the hard line here, you could say that gluttony is in the consumption and greed is in the acquisition. So, you could be greedy and/or gluttonous for food. Taking all the pie could be greed, eating all the pie is gluttony.

SCHOOLED!
