Seven deadly sins

Are you a miserable sinner? If you're not, you must be
pretty exceptional -- a saint maybe, or perhaps an angel in
disguise. The rest of us go about our daily lives committing
sins left, right and centre. But be careful, because seven
of them are deadly, and lead to eternal damnation in Hell.
Here they are, the famous Seven Deadly Sins:


Pride

A too great belief in one's own abilities, that interferes
with one's recognition of the grace of God. It is sometimes
called the sin that causes all other sins. Pride is also
known as Vanity.

Envy

Discontent and a desire for another person's possessions,
qualities or luck.

Gluttony

An excessive and habitual desire to eat more than one needs.

Lust

An excessive sexual desire.

Anger

A strong feeling of displeasure or hostility, a kind of
fury. Anger is also known as Wrath.

Covetousness

A strong desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring
spiritual things. Covetousness is also known as Greed.

Sloth

A reluctance to do physical or spiritual work, a very great
laziness.
