Is an enjoyable experience described as: 1) sinful, 2) heavenly? In either case, I hope the adjective is only being used playfully. But does the choice between these two words, trivial or not, indicate a deeper opinion about the very idea of righteousness? Does it reflect the actual level of belief in the benefits of living well? Which side is "fun" (no matter how shallowly it be defined), good or evil? Is heaven considered boring?
Just something to ponder the next time a "sinful" dessert is presented or a "heavenly" singer performs.
