7 Sins
Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.
Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.
Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.
Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.
Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.
Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.
Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.

You know why these sins "are"???? I'll tell you:
Pride/Vainity: They just wanted people to get rid of their valubals so they could make money. Vanity isn't a good thing but it's not usualy deadly.
Envy: Who the hell doesn't have envy? Even Angels have it. Envy is human nature. They just didn't wanna hear people bitching and moaning.
Gluttony: This one's just to save money, Gluttony IS unhealthy and CAN be deadly but I don't think God's going to stop loving you because you grabbed the last twinky.
Lust: If you live in America, you're guilty of this. Sex is everywhere. Is lust always bad? If it turns to crime I suppose, but what's wrong ith passionate love? They just wanted to make people prudish.
Anger: This is the stupidest one. If you can tell me nothing's ever made you angry in your life then I'll start worshiping you! Who doesn't get angery? This one's just to try and cut down on violence, at least their heart was in the right place here.
Greed: This was just to keep the ups up and the downs down. Greed is a bad thing, it's the ONLY of the 7 sins I ALMOST agree with.
Sloth: This is just to get people working. You think being lazy is some horrible sin? The effects of laziness are pretty straight foward, you don't do you don't get. It's a personal choice, it's not a sin. If you don't have to then don't, unless you want to.
Just what I think. I can't agree with much of the bible because it's not like god just spit out the holy book and said "Hey Eve, take this on your way out, it's my 'word'. ".
People wrote it, and you don't think they imbelished a little!? People didn't like gays, so it says you can't "lay with another man". People were alergic to shellfish so they said that no one could eat it. There's no telling what of the bible is real and what was just imposed based on peoples' own wants.

Envy to the extend of killing the person
pride to the extend of being arrogant and looking down on people.
the Bible is all about meanings, not to be taken word for word
the Church didnt allow homosexual not god, (not sure on why on this though)
the 12 apostles were the 1st to use communism,
my opion. :/

Not to pick a fight but in my five years living with my uncle,he hasn't got angry.He just sits there silently when I think he is angry.
Well then,I'm even a bigger sinner now.
heh, i sin too much. lust, vanity and anger mainly. i would say sloth, but i only stay in bed all day when i have work to do. i do commit the other sins just not as much. i have to admit though, lust is probably my biggest.
We all know that, Katie :P
heh, everyone's guilty of all of them, they're ideals that people CAN'T physically or mentally live by. I'm sure not ONE person here can say "oh I'm not guilty of that one"

Pride--I'm not very religious, and I don't see anything wrong with that. There are some things, though, that I don't agree with being proud over.
Envy--I can be very envious and jealous. Every day.
Gluttony--I thought that ment kinda sloppy, disgusting, what's the word...bleh. Only when I'm really hungry and stuff myself with food (lol).
Lust--hmm...when you love somebody, and you think about them, could it still be considered as lust?
If so, every day. xD
Anger--sometimes. Sometimes all day, and sometimes I can go a week without it. Just depends.
Greed--not very often.
Sloth--yeah, I'm probably that.
