3. That's tough. I fall prey to all of them, except for greed.
I'd say the worst is probably sloth.

5. sloth is good
If more people practiced sloth, the world would be a better place.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

10. Pride

16. I can't decide.
Sloth is right up there, but it shouldn't count if you're depressed. Then there's gluttony. Is that the category where you scarf down a bag of Dove chocolates in one sitting?

17. Anger should be changed to wrath.
There is nothing wrong with anger per se. It's just when it is taken to the extreme like self-interest, it becomes wrath the same way self-interest becomes greed or avarice.

23. I'd say sloth; however, pride allows it
I think I'll go humble myself and make dinner now.

25. is anger a sin?
so if I'm angry about what the * is doing, I'm being sinful? Second choice was sloth, because too often I am so Angry I am paralyzed into slothfulness.

31. Where's murder?
Shouldn't murder be #1 on that list? I demand a recount! How about DECEIT? That should be way up there, too, but it doesn't even make the Top 7! And what's this crap about SLOTH? Talk about a lame-ass "deadly" sin! Sheesh!

:argh:
