Since I had a post on confessions, might as well do one on the 7 Deadly Sins.
Which of these are you most guilty of?
Pride is excessive belief in one’s own abilities. 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.
Thoughts:
1- I suppose not many people on SP are guilty of Pride? I assume most people suffering from depression do not suffer from excessive pride?
2- Why is Lust so bad? If it involves cheating and such, sure. But based purely on that definition above, what’s so wrong about enjoying the pleasures of the flesh?
3- Please use the above definitions of what each sin is.

Gluttony- cuz…FOOOOOOD is so damn tasty!!
Anger- cuz…This stupid messed up world makes me so angry
Envy and Lust…..
Glustony – Eating during sex. The cracker crumbs get everywhere.
Eternaldarkness, SeeSmith IS adventerous enough. 🙂
Honorawf – Obeying your friend’s parents more than your own and making sure they know it.
Spride – Excessively proud of a bottle of Sprite.
Sleth – Being too lazy to get off the sled.
The seven deadly sins are human constructs created by fearful misogynistic males. Don’t buy into it. Of all the places on this blue planet that DON’T need more people feeling guilty, this is it.
But should we feel guilty over having invented them in the first place?
When WE invent sins we are being inspired.
Moblanation – The sin of repeatedly looking at your phone when your date is talking to you.
Sulfajank – Doritos farts.
Xonanism – Spooging on the game controllers.
Every one but Pride and Gluttony. I don’t eat to much.
Gluttony – Just admitting that makes me hate myself
Envy – Yeah, I have a hard time with this one.
Anger – I have a lot of anger towards certain people. I’m not one to express it, I just let it boil inside of me.
A part of me feels like I should also add sloth to my list but I’m not one-hundred percent sure so I’ll just leave it off for now. Off topic but I think sloths are cute.
Lust – I don’t let it rule me, but when I’ve given in – this was it.
Gluttony, lust, sloth
