Cynthia Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Ok, I'm about to go out of town, but I can't resist this! What is your favorite of the 7 deadly sins? Here's Fred's list for starters. Superbia: Pride Invidia: Envy/Jealousy Ira: Anger/Wrath Avaritia: Avarice/Greed Acadia: Sloth/Laziness Gula: Gluttony Luxuria: Lust Mine are gluttony and sloth in that order. Gluttony must come first or I wouldn't have the initiative to get up and find food before slugging out. How about you all???????? Are these better or worse than the currently popular sins to despise????????????????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredP Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Are these better or worse than the currently popular sins to despise????????????????????? Which "currently popular sins" would those be? I know it's too easy, but pride is just so easy to wind myself up in. One of the pages I came across today made the really asute observation that, if someone else's pride really bothers you, you have a lot of pride. Dammit! Sheesh, I'm quite rather skilled at them all... Maybe not so much envy and greed, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowperson Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) As far as I'm concerned lust, sloth, and gluttony are inseparable. I could probably easily qualify to be an extra in any remake of Caligula. And, though I'm on the downslope in the indulgence of all three, I savor each moment I allow myself to. My favorite saying these days is that I've got to save my energies for those important and special moments, especially so here in sin city. flow....
