I'm just curious. I'm not asking for a bible school lesson. no offense. I just want to know what the seven deadly sins are.

The seven deadly sins were made up by St Gregory in the 6th century and are not in the Bible. They are a tradition of men and are not to be trusted. To God sin is sin and a small sin is just as bad as a large sin. All sin seperates you from God. If you have faith and are baptized for the remission of sin then you are forgiven of all sin. Here are two links below to look at that might help.

Hope this helps & God Bless,

Chris

This has been admirably answered already, so I'll present the opposing view:

"The seven deadly virtues, those ghastly little traps
Oh no, my liege, they were not meant for me
Those seven deadly virtues were made for other chaps
Who love a life of failure and ennui

Take courage - now there's a sport
An invitation to the state of rigor mort
And purity - a noble yen
And very restful every now and then
I find humility means to be hurt
It's not the earth the meek inherit, it's the dirt
Honesty is fatal, it should be taboo
Diligence - a fate I would hate
If charity means giving, I give it to you
And fidelity is only for your mate

You'll never find a virtue unstatusing my quo
Or making my Beelzebubble burst
Let others take the high road, I will take the low
I cannot wait to rush in where angels fear to go
With all those seven deadly virtues, free and happy little me
Has not been cursed"

The Sins

1 Lust (Latin, luxuria)
2 Gluttony (Latin, gula)
3 Greed/Avarice (Latin, cupiditia'avaritia)
4 Laziness/Sloth(Latin, pigritia'acedia)
5 Wrath (Latin, ira)
6 Envy (Latin, invidia)
7 Pride/Hubris (Latin, superbia)

History
According to Sacred Origins of Profound Things, by Charles Panati, Greek monastic theologian Evagrius of Pontus first drew up a list of eight offenses and wicked human passions. They were, in order of increasing seriousness: gluttony, lust, avarice, sadness, anger, acedia, vainglory, and pride. Evagrius saw the escalating severity as representing increasing fixation with the self, with pride as the most egregious of the sins. Acedia (from the Greek "akedia," or "not to care") denoted "spiritual sloth."
