Poll question: The 7 Deadly Sins Poll
Which are you most guilty of?

(interesting for this atheist to notice that little ol' things like murder or other acts of violence don't make the cut)

a Modern Kosher.

So, I'm making up my Sins (with a capital 'S') as I go along.

7. Um...lust
I was asked on a medical profile the other day my lifetime number of sexual partners and I had to guess. 50? It's not terrible...it's under 4/year.

Edited on Wed Jun-18-08 08:41 PM by DarkTirade
I'm proud of the fact that I had angry sex involving food, then I was jealous when it didn't happen again.

That's like what, four or five of 'em right there? :rofl:

Unfortunately I can't work sloth in there if I also have angry sex... that tends to be rather active. :P

21. How 'bout this.
I hate everybody who gets paid more than me for all the sex they have and sometimes I just want to kill 'em all, but I'd rather just lie around and eat bonbons really. Their loss, I know I'm the best.

All the other sins, though amusing, are too damn much work.

25. I have never sinned...
Edited on Wed Jun-18-08 10:24 PM by Fox Mulder
I do natural human things, like eating too much sometimes, I lust after women, I'm sometimes lazy, and I envy people. That's not sinning. That's just being a human.

27. Sloth and lust by a mile (you can ask Mrs R); none of the others.
(Well, maybe gluttony as well, when crossing paths with a good cheesesteak hoagie.)

28. I have a bad temper, so I'll say Wrath.
I am usually swearing at people I don't know, from a distance, so it's pretty harmless anger. When I'm mad at someone I know I retreat and spend time alone.

But still, it's the flaw I know I have to deal with.

29. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Edited on Wed Jun-18-08 11:18 PM by InkAddict
SEYTON
The queen, my lord, is dead.

MACBETH

She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it

(The story of my life)

is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I sincerely apologize for not meeting or exceeding your collective expectations - any of them.

32. "I poked a badger with a spoon."
(Eddie Izzard in Dress To Kill in case you can't tell ;))

7. Church of England Fundamentals

So the Pagan religion I don't know a huge amount about, but it was this earthy thing. Christianity had split into many different areas - Catholicism still has the fire and brimstone,( beating drum ) "Row, you bastards!” You know... Original sin! What a hellish idea that is! People have to go,


"Father, bless me for I have sinned, I did an original sin… I poked a badger with a spoon."

"I've never heard of that one before! Five Hail Mary's and two Hello, Dolly's."

"Oh, all right..."

"Bless me, Father, for I have slept with my next door neighbor's wife."

"Heard it! I want an original sin."

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry!"


The Anglican faith doesn't have that. You'll never go,


"Vicar, I have done many bad things."

"Well, so have I."

"What shall I do?"

"Well, drink five Bloody Marys and you won't remember."


Because the Anglican faith had a lack of principles for a long time.

it has to be wrath. I was such a different person before the war started. I was light and happy. Now I find myself angry and lashing out all of the time. :cry:
