No Gossiping For You
a: Tale-bearing ~
b: denying God
What: Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Deiot, chapter 7:3:
"The Sages said that there are three sins which 'collect' of a man in this world and deprive him of a share in the World To Come. These sins are idolatry, adultery and murder, but tale-bearing is above all. The Sages further said that tale-bearing is like denying God. The Sages further said that three types of tale-bearing kill telling, listening and slandering. The sin of listening is worse than that of telling."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
