Which of the seven sins is the worst?

[Archbob]

I'd have to say pride. What about you guys?

 

[philippe]

THE worst?Greed

 

[Zcylen]

all are great!



oh! the worst...well, I think is when you get angry (cant remember the correct word)

 

[anarchywrksbest]

Probably Chastity.........what?...its NOT a sin? Well it bloody should be!

 

[Archbob]

I think pride drives all the other sins.

Oh Zcylen, Galadrial is far older than Elrond. She is the daughter of Finarfin if I remember correctly.

 

[Jeratain]

Vanity. (same as pride pretty much)

 

[Dralix]

Sin city?

 

[cgannon64]

Envy. Envy will make you do anything. Plus, envy is kind of similar to pride, only its a reversal of it. Sort of.

not that id know...

 

[cromagnon]

I'd say murder (I think that's one of them). It's the only irreversible one.

Someone should list all 7 of them so we know. And make a darn poll!

 

[onejayhawk]

I like the answer from The Devil's Advocate, ego.

Actually they are all the same. The Bible makes hatred equal to murder, lust equal to fornication or adultery. With perfection as a standard, any flaw is damnable, literally in this case.

PS Perhaps Perfection sees it otherwise.

 

[Archbob]

Perfection should be a sin in itself! It inspired Pride and all the other stuff.

 

[sysyphus]

I'll go with greed.

Perhaps a poll could have been posted for this? Is it too late?

Perfection will resent that when he reads it.

All are equally deadly. But Pride (Vanity) is the least recognized as a SIN, and therefore the one you are most likely to succumb to. In fact, in many circles it is mistaken for a VIRTUE.

Ultimately, Gluttony is the root of all sin... It doesn't mean over-eating... It means over-indulgence... All of the evil of the other sins stems f/ gluttony.

 

[Mojotronica]

You didn't list the Seven Deadly Sins:

Vanity or Pride (or Ego)
Wrath or Anger
Gluttony
Greed
Lust
Envy
Sloth

you're well informed Fallen Angel Lord, once we were discussing about "for now none live to remember" in my sig and somebody asked *cough* Portuguese *cough* : what about Elrond?"
and I posted this:

Elrond -> :die: <- me
and Elrond no mo'





sorry for the off topic post but I wanted to reply to Fallen Angel Lord

 

[Ancient Grudge]

Greed greed GrEeD gReEd is the worst

 

[Perfection]

I am the great one who sends out the sins, bow down before me mere-mortals!


Okay realism time: I say envy, that causes all the evil stuff!

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

The seven deadly sins are so named not because they are "the worst" sins (things like murder and theft aren't among them). The seven deadly sins represent emotional states which are DEADLY to the person who is under their sway.

Think of it in a Sun Tzu sort of way: if you give into sloth, envy, pride, gluttony, lust, greed, or avarice, you compromise yourself in a way which can lead to your death:

Gluttons could have heart attacks,
the lustful could get the deadly venereal disease du jour,
the greedy, envious, and proud could set a cycle into motion which would lead to their karmic undoing,
the slothful might oversleep an important doctor's appointment...

Which one do I like the least? Greed. Which is my favorite? Sloth, Lust, and Gluttony are all vying for my attention these days...

 

[Grey Fox]

The only sin is to go tell people what is a sin.

Don't know if I believe in that myself though... many sins are quite universal...
