The Seven Deadly Sins - Which Are You?

[Former Member]

Lust – to have an intense desire or need: “But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:28).

Gluttony – excess in eating and drinking: “for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags” (Proverbs 23:21).

Greed - excessive or reprehensible acquisitiveness: “Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more” (Ephesians 4:19).

Sloth– disinclined to activity or exertion: not energetic or vigorous: “The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway” (Proverbs 15:19).

Wrath – strong vengeful anger or indignation: “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” (Proverbs 15:1)

Envy – painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage: “Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation” (1 Peter 2:1-2).

Pride - quality or state of being proud – inordinate self esteem: “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18).

Of these seven deadly sins, which ones represent you? Choose all that apply and explain why.

I suppose greed and sloth describe me. I am a pretty selfish person when it comes to material possessions, and as for sloth, I sleep and lounge more than I should. soo.... n.n;;;

[bagheera]

Hmm... I don't think any of them precisely fit me. But if I had to choose, I'd go for wrath (most likely), or lust ('nuff said).

[Graham]

[♚ The Prince ♚]

Everyone commits every sin on a regular basis. But the one that I do most would be... probably envy.

[Nudge]

I'd say sloth fits me more than the rest do. I should really stop being lazy.

[Dumezil]

Envy especially, then pride, definitely. With all of the others experienced at one time or another.
However, I know I'm better than everyone else on here. If anyone was better, I'd remove them.

[Miss Daisy]

I feel that I'm a mixture of greed, wrath, and envy. I covet my possessions, they are mine, and I worked for them.

I am very envious. I always envy people who have it soooo easy and never do anything for themselves, or people who didn't do anything to deserve the good life they have while others like me struggle to pay the bills.

As for wrath? Although I am generally a calm, collected girl who is open minded and easy to get a long with.. I have a furious wrath that strikes when even I least expect it o.0 I have a bad temper with a very, very short fuse and certain things set me off. I've noticed that I've been even more angry since my dad passed away.

Anyone ever hear the song "Seven" by Megadeth? it deals directly with this and is pretty catchy.

I'm envy or pride. Not sure which one but I'm sure everyone could fall under any of the seven on different days

[Ara (Crow)]

Pride, I've been told I can be a bit too prideful on sveral instances.

[bagheera]

-still proud of being the only person thus far to answer "lust"-

[The Dancing Lock Guy]

All seven of them.

Lust - need that Ipod touch although it's pointless and I hate Apple
Gluttony - damn good burgers
Greed - love money, love money
Sloth - procrastinates on homework
Wrath - rawr! Why aren't you giving me SwagBucks? You'll pay for this!
Envy - my sister has more SwagBucks than me. Sad face.
Pride - Canada>All

[Less.Than.Three.]

Sloth (I'd spend half my life sleeping if I could), envy, and maybe lust (hi Bagheera! ).

[Robyn]

A little bit of everything at times. Although greed in the sense of my passion to have technology, as well as my envy whenever a girl I like gets a boyfriend.

Probably gluttony and sloth for me -- it's surprising I'm not fat

Gluttony is something I've been controlling, but I have no intentions of changing my sloth-like ways

I 'm in the same boat. If i were rich and didn't need to work for the rest of my life, i think my days would just involve food and sleep. *eating while writing this*
