People have always been immoral, shiftless, self-gratifying, good-for-nothing shits. But for ages, humankind struggled to find a conceptual system to operationalize their spiritual shortcomings. The challenge was formidable: the system had to be complex and inclusive enough to implicate a vast range of disgusting behavior, yet simple and memorable enough to inspire guilt in an illiterate peasant.
Hence, the Seven Deadly Sins are born. Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Avarice, Gluttony, and Lust. These are in the order of increasing seriousness.
What it is: 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.
Why you do it: Well-meaning elementary school teachers told you to "believe in yourself."
Your punishment in Hell will be: You'll be broken on the wheel.
Associated symbols & suchlike: Pride is linked with the horse and the color violet.
What it is: Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.
Why you do it: Because other people are so much luckier, smarter, more attractive, and better than you.
Your punishment in Hell will be: You'll be put in freezing water.
Associated symbols & suchlike: Envy is linked with the dog and the color green.
What it is: Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.
Why you do it: You're wired for it. Also, the people around you are pretty damn irritating.
Your punishment in Hell will be: You'll be dismembered alive.
Associated symbols & suchlike: Anger is linked with the bear and the color red.
What it is: Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.
Why you do it: You're shiftless, lazy, and good fer nuthin'.
Your punishment in Hell will be: You'll be thrown into snake pits.
Associated symbols & suchlike: Sloth is linked with the goat and the color light blue.
What it is: Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.
Why you do it: You live in possibly the most pampered, consumerist society since the Roman Empire.
Your punishment in Hell will be: You'll be boiled alive in oil. Bear in mind that it's the finest, most luxurious boiling oil that money can buy, but it's still boiling.
Associated symbols & suchlike: Greed is linked with the frog and the color yellow.
What it is: Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.
Why you do it: Because you were weaned improperly as an infant.
Your punishment in Hell will be: You'll be force-fed rats, toads, and snakes.
Associated symbols & suchlike: Gluttony is linked with the pig and the color orange.
What it is: Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.
Why you do it: Oh, please.
Your punishment in Hell will be: You'll be smothered in fire and brimstone. Not kisses.
Associated symbols & suchlike: Lust is linked with the cow and the color blue.
I did the Lust test found on a website. I scored 50%. PASSING MARK ONLY! Oh my God. Am I that sick? Lol. For 50% this is what it said.
50-70
You have befouled the temple of your body with your Lustful ways. Your spouse-swapping, meat-beating, porn-ogling depravity is like a sickness. There is little hope for you unless you renounce your past and start a new life under an assumed identity.

This is Gandhi's version of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Mohandas Karamachand Gandhi, one of the most influential figures in modern social and political activism, considered these traits to be the most spiritually perilous to humanity.
Wealth without Work
Pleasure without Conscience
Science without Humanity
Knowledge without Character
Politics without Principle
Commerce without Morality
Worship without Sacrifice
Anyways, I just find these Seven Deadly Sins to be interesting. There's actually more on the history of the sins but if I post them all here, I think my blog will be like a bible. So yeah. Go search on it if you wanna know more.
To me, I think I'm a little bit of this and a little bit of that, meaning to say I'm a mixture of all the sins. That's bad right? =/ But that's me. As most of you who know me, you might agree that I'm at least 50% more to Pride a.k.a Vanity. Agree? LOL! Hey, Vanity is part of self-appreciation okay.
Here's a pic that I think most of you have seen in illusion pictures.
Picture titled "All is vanity"
Do you see a lady looking at the mirror or do you see a big skull? You can see both. I finally know what's the meaning behind this picture. To put it short, it links Vanity to Death. Meaning to say, Vanity is a sin. No? You figure out.
This ends my survey on Seven Deadly Sins. =D
There's this thought which came up. It seems like it's been quite some time I took pictures of myself. HAHAHA! Vanity~ So yeah..
