Seven Deadly Sins...Are they?

[PacificBlue]

Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. 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.

Covetousness is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Greed.

Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.

My favorite is lust and pride. I think I'd get into Dante's third ring.

Do I have em all covered?

I'm batting a thousand! 7 for 7! And proud of it. I don't mean to make a pig of myself but I want it all - I mean, other people have it all. If they can have it, I want it.

It makes me hot to think I possess all these qualities but people seem to think it is wrong. DAMN THEM. I want to make money off these ideas, too. But maybe I'll do something about it another time. I'm gonna go lay down.

Does this mean I am going to Hell in a handbasket? Faster 'n you can say....
