Seven Deadly Sins
September 20, 2011 at 7:18 am
Another thread got me thinking about the seven deadly sins. Just wanted to know which of these is you guys' favourite to commit, and why people think they're so bad? Theists, if you want to give a reason why these things are bad, it's going to require an argument that doesn't already pre-suppose the existence of God. I don't want this thread to boil down to another 'prove God exists' debate. Here's the list:

Lust
Gluttony
Greed
Sloth
Wrath
Envy
Pride

I think lust is my favourite. I'm a very lusty person. Then again, I love eating, so gluttony is cool too. Also, I enjoy the occasional day of sitting around doing absolutely nothing. It's so hard to choose. So many great sins, how can I pick just one?

Sloth/Apathy is mine.

Whenever things fuck up, don't go as planned, communication breaks down or relationships fall apart I withdraw into myself and stop caring. Self-loathing for decaying into a sloth begins resulting in a downward spiral into depression. This happens quite often. I guess if you're an underachiever hating yourself is only natural. Sleepy

You just want all the sins for yourself. Big Grin

Lets have a look......

Lust,
Trouble with lust is that it doesn't always lead to sex. Though I do lust after Aprillia's RSV4

Gluttony
No, I can't actually do this one, I don't have the room for all that food in my stomach. More's the pity.

Greed,
again not really, as long as I've got enought to put fuel in my bike.

Sloth,
Unforunately don't have the time for this one. Wish I did.

Wrath
Funny this one since Yahweh is supposedly a "wrathful god"

Envy,

Only of Ron Jeremy. Big Grin

Pride, Why not? why not take pride in the things I've accomplished.
Or am I supposed to attribute my achievements to god?
Fuck that.

Those aren't sins, they are a checklist!

Lust, obviously. Lusting feels good even if it doesn't lead to sex.

Why it is a problem for some? I have no fucking clue.
