Which Deadly Sin Are You?
 

Got to thinking, each of us probably embodies at least one of the seven deadly sins from time to time. We're none of us truly horrible people, just inclined toward certain tendencies that aren't so great. Some people are lazy, others covetous, others still, rageaholics.

• Gluttony
• Greed
• Pride
• Sloth
• Lust
• Envy
• Wrath

If convicted of one of these sins at the doors of Heaven, which would it be?

(Let's assume you go to Heaven and cannot circumvent this question by saying you're going to Hell, where your years of unprotected sex earn you a corner office.)

Way to not answer your own topic, Mr. Envy.

I'm big on Sloth myself. Why put off 'til tomorrow what you don't really need to get done until next month?

I'm incredibly good with Wrath. I'm of the belief that everyone should indulge in blind vengeance once in a while because it's incredibly therapeutic.

Somewhere between Envy and Pride, but I think I lean more to Envy.

Wrath and Sloth are my worst (and often the latter diffuses the former). When I am wronged I will obsess ways to get back at people. Sometimes I will, but more often than not I just go "meh" and give up on it. Too much work in the end. I am, however, still prone to outbursts on occasion.

Sloth for me. I have a terrible habit of putting things off to the last minute. =\

This is me as well. Most of the others I barely even scratched on.

Greed probably suits me the best as far as traditional deadly sins go. As far as the modern list goes, I'd say polluting the environment is the closest I'd go to hell for (it's the one most applicable from the gamut of social sins).

I was planning to, I just felt like posing the question, then answering separately later.

And actually, Pride is my sin. I figured this would be rather obvious. I have a high sense of honor and tend to fly off the handle when my reputation is questioned. I am given to bouts of vanity and hubris. I also have a habit of unknowingly looking down on people of lesser intelligence and breeding. Usually I don't mean to be so condescending but my air of self-superiority does come out in conversation, I'm told. My sense of pride also brings out a rather competitive streak in me; I'm not one to back away from a challenge.

Despite the expected answer, I am definitely wrath. I'm not big into self-indulgence, so stop sitting there laughing at how I didn't say gluttony, assholes :(

I'm definitely a rageaholic. I have to avoid thinking about certain topics because they will immediately get me mad. I explode a lot. Bless the man who puts up with my shit, seriously.

Sloth and Lust, probably.

Sloth, but only because I'm a lazy fuck. Maybe some greed and wrath thrown in for good measure. More wrath though lately, my patience for people is winding super thin.

The Operative: Do you know what your sin is Mal?

Malcolm Reynolds: Ah Hell... I'm a fan of all seven. But right now... I'm gonna have to go with wrath

Pretty much sums me up. I get a little obsessive when I get fucked over sometimes, but other than that I'd have to say lust and pride also tend to rear up every now and then.

Wrath and sloth for sure. I'm a lazy self-indulgent rageaholic. Can't get enough of that delicious rageahol.

The two are mutually exclusive most of the time, though. DRUUUUUGS

Man sloth and gluttony would be having an epic battle for my soul if I wasn't too busy being hungry and lazy.

Pride fuelled by wrath. Not so much wrath these days but it still sneaks up on me occasionally. I'm competitive and hate showing any kind of weakness.

Where does racism fit into this? Pride? (y'all know how badly ethno-centric I can be)
Other than that, I'd say Sloth would be definitely a top candidate for me.

I think I fall between wrath and lust (which would link into envy) so I'm defo not getting into heaven lol

I'd go with gluttony, sloth and lust. I mean, I don't eat a shit load or anything but I do drink and take drugs to a massive excess, I can be lazy as fuck unless work is unavoidable at which point I'm rather industrious (Hence needing a job with tight deadlines to keep me on track) and I'll pretty much shag anything with mainly human DNA and ovaries.

Mainly. Meaning there's still hope for the odd Scottish bird.

I think racism could be a corollary of pride. Basically, "I'm better than you, or at least you're worse than me."

Sloth, Lust, and Pride.

I generally believe that I could do a lot more than I'm currently doing with my life. Complacency is the enemy of progress, and all. Feh. Laziness.

Lust for power and pleasure. Obvious kinda stuff.

And, generally speaking, I'm a prick.

Well, quite. Never say never and all that.

McBernard disapproves of this sudden turn of events :mad:

But she has to have a really good CD collection, right Shin?

I never quite understood the seven deadly sins construct. There is, especially, very little distinction between Gluttony, Envy, Greed, and Lust: all are concerned with wanting what you're not supposed to want.

I'll go with Pride. I am increasingly an intellectual elitist.

Sloth for me also and it will put me in great trouble sometimes. So i suggest do work at right time other wise it will be our habit to get it done at the ding moment and will make us in helpless situation.

Sloth. I procrastinate like it's going out of style.

I think I've said this before somewhere, but I'm definitely Wrath. I've toned down in recent years, but when I was in the grips of depression, I used anger as my emotion to keep me level (a.k.a. acting "normal"/"happy"). So I had a short fuse.


I'm generally better now.

The Deadly Sins you mentioned are more specific than that.

Lust = Perverse thoughts you should not be having. You know, sex and fetishes and all that.

Gluttony = Food, eating too much, eating badly, stuffing your face too much, wasting food, etc.

Greed = Money, being careless with it, blowing it on stupid things, being frivolous with it, doing horrid things just for the sake of money.

Envy = Wanting what others have. This is really the only one that overlaps the others significantly since Envy can be related to Lust, Greed, or Gluttony. But more specifically, its a sin to continually angst over not having something someone else doesn't have. Even more so if you go out of your way to make other people miserable for what they have and you don't.


The Deadly Sins in general is the idea that you're doing/wanting what you shouldn't. They're just specific examples of such. Ex: the deadly sin of Pride is the idea that gloating and holding ones achievements over another is a sin. Narcissism is an extreme of Pride etc. :p

I think I've got a bit of every deadly sin inside of me, but the one that came to my mind immediately was Sloth. I can go through these periods of being so fucking lazy. It prevents me from being productive with work, exercise, socialising... it's quite bad. It usually takes a swift metaphorical kick in the arse to get me back on to being myself again.

Definitely pride. I hate to lose, and when I do lose I will find any way to rationalize it, excluding of course any faults of my own. Yeah I would probably be charged with this at those almighty pearly gates. Oh well, at least in recent years I have come to actually realize what I'm doing while I'm doing it, thus making it much easier for me to stop and think about my actions.

:gonk:

(I'm trying to convey how surreal this thread just got without using any words)

Which one's the one that means I masturbate too much?

I'd be pride, sometimes I have too much for my own good.

Doesn't matter; OP is dead.

pride

Nope. Sloth.

I'm definitely a rageaholic. I have to avoid thinking about certain topics because they will immediately get me mad. I explode a lot. Bless the man who puts up with my shit, seriously.

Guys need some help. Should I post here?

Sure, go for it.
