Just as the title says.
Of course, with a little example, please, so that we may all enjoy your evilness.
(bonus points if you can combine a couple of them)
Let us see what kind of hell has been prepared for the inhabitants of Off-Topic by Darth Priestly.

I personally like to please myself with long mornings turning into afternoons with quiet music and a lot of sugar. While other people tend to their business and doing their (and my) work, I eat chocolate, watch anime and ponder on the purely theoretical question what weekday it might be and whether the task I was asked to complete maybe was already finished by a travelling Samaritan, and if, in case he wasn't finished yet, I should give him some more time to spare him the humility of being caught in the act of helping others. It is sad evidence for the uncaring nature of this world that in most cases I must find out that the Samaritan failed to materialize in time, but I will not give up hope that someday, I will be able to enjoy my "mornings" truly without the constant interruptions from phone calls reminding me of all the appointments I'm currently being late for. Why do they think I make these appointments, anyway? If I wanted to talk to them, I'd do it immediately and not at some remote and unknown place and time when the odds are good something good is running on TV.

Sloth. :)

Sloth. myself. Perhaps not so coincidentally, also one of my favorite animals in the entire universe. If there's a next life and reincarnation is involved, I want to *be* a sloth so I can sleep all day and not have to worry or think about anything substantial (beyond not getting eaten by predators and falling off my tree branch).

Sloth/Procrastination, why do something now if I can do it later? I usually don't procrastinate at work, but at home- my house is filled with things that need done that I can do....later.

Because nothing feels better than feeling like doing nothing at all.

Sometimes I think sloth is justified, though. Modern living can be a tad too stressful for my taste.

All of the 7 Deadly Sins are justified in certain ways or forms, the entire problem comes from overindulgence.



Mine would be pride.

Sloth of course. Who doesn't enjoy being a sloth? Well, except when those around you get angry. :(

Wrath is the primary sin i am guilty of having.

im not saying i kill people (might happen down the track as i am in an armed force but dont want it to) but i have killed many an animal for "trespassing" on my property, or damaging my property.

 This thread is further evidence that Christians are being persecuted! PERSECUTED! Why, we can't even beat gay people to death with baseball bats anymore without going TO JAIL! When will the oppression end? [/christianstrawman]

They also look awesome. The claws! Anyone ever see a Behemoth in Heroes of Might and Magic 3? Basically giant sloths on steroids

No way! I never even heard of the virtues! AND I took Christianity for my GCSE..

As for me, I'm none of those. Absolutely perfect.

I hadn't heard about the virtues until I saw a play about them many years ago. I'm not sure if it's wide spread knowledge or whatnot. I'm more interested in the sins, so I've never researched anything beyond the fact that they exist.

I believe they are,

Faith, Hope, Charity, Fortitude, Justice, Temperance, Prudence

Someone correct me if I am wrong. Again, I'm not an expert at the virtues.

Reading again, I'm surprised "Wrath" is even a sin (though I don't really remember these), considering the 'wrath of God' here and the 'vengeance' there flung about all over the place (however I'm aware religion is highly illegal on this forum so I'll end it there).

Pride includes 'Vanity' right?

Some of those don't sound entirely separate either. I find it strange how 'Love' (+'Loyalty') isn't really in there, but "Wrath" and "Envy" pretty much got hate covered for the sins. Huh..okay okay I'll stop twisting this thread.

You shouldn't have used a bat. For gays, whips are the appropiate weapon. ;)

My favorite sin? I suppose pride. I try hard to excersize humility and I do in a lot of cases, but some things just swells up in me and I wish to share with the world exactly how I feel about something.

Love the last part (and thank you! That's much clearer).
Now I can honestly say my sins are: Lust, Chastity, Gluttony, Temperance, Greed, Charity, Temperance, Sloth, Diligence, Wrath, Patience, Envy, Kindness, Pride, Humility, Love and Marriage.

Tie between sloth and gluttony. And It's easy to combine the two, which makes it even better. Sitting in front of the TV scoffing chocolates or cake.



Interesting that most of us know the sins, but not the virtues.

I would say my favorite deadly sin was pride for my amazingly perfect guttony, my envious greed and lust for wrath if that all didn't sound like it takes WAAAAY too much. . .I can't be bothered to finish this

If I remember right, there were actually 8 deadly sins originally, but it didn't become official and much more popular until a pope put it into 7 deadly sins, combining 2 into Sloth a few hundred years later. If I remember right, at that same time, he conceived of their 7 heavenly virtues as their counterpart. Maybe that came later on.
