Which Deadly Sin Are You?

Sloth and Lust, probably.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
