the thing about these sins is that they're deadly. wrath, greed, pride, envy, sloth, gluttony and lust. deadly? wrath - sure, you go around wrathing people, you'll probably end up getting wrathed by someone. gluttony - high blood pressure, heart problems, cholesterol. deadly. lust - "did he die of aids?" no. lust. it's deadly. sloth - doubtful. even if you never wash, and never leave the house, the chances of you getting meningitis or a bacterial infection are slim. pride, envy and greed don't seem that deadly. if you envy someone's watch, try to steal it, and then they wrath you, that's deadly. or if you are a greedy jerk, and someone kills you for your stuff, that's deadly ...sort of. and pride, why does pride goeth before a fall? it's deadly? why? these sins are not directly deadly, but more so bad for you in the grand scheme of things. as in burning in hell for eternity ...as you deserve, you prideful bag of cancer. then why isn't lying a deadly sin? it seems worse than being proud. if you are proud of the fact that you don't lie, enjoy hell. that's one way to look at it, or you can see it as a sweet loophole. lie your way right out of hell. "you're pretty fat, you gluttonous sloth" "glandular. peace" then right up to heaven. eat whatever your want, sleep with whoever you want, steal anything you want, stab anyone who does you wrong, lay around on the couch and be proud of it, and when the minions show up to drag you down to the fiery pits of darkness, just lie on the couch and lie.
