Which sin are you?

Well to be honest, the Church is against them because they are so extreme. Wrath isn't just being angry (which can be justifiable) it's about snapping at every little thing and raging all the time. Lust isn't just liking pleasure, it's about seeking pleasure at the cost of anything else. They're all parts of human nature taken to the extreme. Plus I'm sure the Catholic church wants it's followers to move beyond just simple human nature and follow a more divine morality.Psycho-Toaster said:
A little Sloth, a dash of Wrath, some Pride and definitely some Gluttony to top things off. And a lot of Lust.
Ah, I probably already have my room all picked out..

Sloth for sure, quite lazy by nature. I go by my brother's creed of "Don't leave what you can do today for tomorrow. Leave it for the day AFTER tomorrow"
As for the others:
Lust - definitely according to the bible (fancying sexual thoughts more than God thoughts), but outside that... well I'd need a proper definition tbh. I don't lust after someone else when I'm with someone, but I definitely lust after the person I'm with. Then again, I see that as nothing short of a good thing
Greed - I do have some relatively high aspirations that definitely include material goods and money (mostly in the terms of financial stability), but greedy? Nah, not really.
Gluttony - yes by nature, no by choice. I do love to eat (and I'm the pickiest person around about my food, mostly eat crap), but changing that by choice for a healthier diet (and at the same time, a smaller one)
Pride - somewhat, yes. I can put it aside if I want to and do most of the time, but I don't tend to take bullshit that I don't think I had coming. There's also few things I hate more than assumed (unearned) authority.
Envy - hmmm, tough one. Materially, yes, I suppose, but then again that's the product of being born in a shitty country with nothing close to a decent standard. There's not as much envy as there is aspiration and a wish things were better all around though so I don't see it as a bad thing at all.
Emotionally? Yeah, I can definitely get jealous. I'm not unreasonable about it at all, but I'm not a fan of cheating and things that strongly seem to be leading towards it.
Wrath - somewhat by nature, no by choice. Which would actually be a no by the definition I suppose, considering I'm well able to control my anger.
I could swear I remember posting in this thread a few months ago.dvd_72 said:
Anyway, once again, while my faith doesn't recognize the existence of sin, if I had to choose, I would have to go with....
Lust.
Like any of you are really surprised. ^^
