Atone here! Sinners welcome!

In honor of Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, which begins at sundown today and ends at sundown tomorrow, I invite readers of all faiths and beliefs -- Jews, Catholics, Protestants, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Zoroastrians, Rastafarians, Pastafarians, Agnostics, Atheists, whatever -- to leave a sin (anonymously or otherwise) in the comments.

To make it easy, let's just stick with the basic Seven Deadly (or Cardinal) Sins, which are:

Lust
Gluttony
Greed
Sloth
Wrath
Envy
Pride

I myself have succumbed to three or four of these this past year* (and no, rooting for both the Jets AND the Giants is not a sin) -- but hope to get my sinning down to just one or two categories in the new year. (Hey, no one is perfect.)

And because laughing is not a sin (at least not that I know of), some Yom Kippur humor for your viewing enjoyment.

*While confession is good for the soul, it's not always so good for the marriage or friendship.

Nope, nothing to declare.

OK, OK, sloth for me too!
