LIARS! Volumes 1and 2 present the concept that the Christian 10 Commandments are an inadequate foundation to understand the flaws of human nature. As an inadequate foundation, they also fail to provide practical guidance to help society succeed in the face of our human nature. As an alternative, LIARS proposes that what are commonly known as the “Seven Deadly Sins” are a much better starting point. The books go on to expand the Seven Deadly Sins to 12, and then use those Twelve Deadly Sins to construct a prototype “social contract” for a new social structure.

This section uses dialog directly from Scout to the Pole. Nanook is talking with Father Vincent. Nanook is italic type.

The discussion of the Seven Deadly Sins has been subdivided into the following parts:

• A summary of the Seven Deadly Sins

• Implications of the Seven Deadly Sins in society

• Five additional sins for the list
