Re: Sloth and Oblivion in the modern day
Alternately, Oblivion is destroying what Haagenti eats, making it possible for him to be an even greater Glutton because he's always hungry... it's a symbiotic relationship!

Re: Sloth and Oblivion in the modern day
More like hyper metabolism than binging and purging.

A glutton could be someone that lies, cheats, or steals for their meal of choice. It's not all about obesity. I am a glutton for diet Pepsi. Being poor, I have had to fight the urge to weaken my morals for just one more two liter. As I drink caffeine free as well, it isn't even a classic addiction. Quirk gluttony, probably in gurps terms.

Re: Sloth and Oblivion in the modern day
It's not even about food. The In Nomine Prince basically is, but the Word presumably retains at least the potential to resonate with its older meaning. The sin of gluttony is about overemphasis of worldly pleasure - the audiophile wasting time better spent in prayer trying to coax a more pleasant sound out of his stereo system is as much a glutton as the fellows buying indulgences to eat butter during lent or guzzling the communion wine.
