Here is one of the holy virtues as opposites to the seven deadly sins. According to Dante's The Divine Comedy the sins have an order of greatness, and the virtues a respective order of greatness as well.
You must love your fellow mens.
With love for all the mens.

All sins are deadly. The wages of sin is death, but the Gift of God is eternal life.
Even one sin needs to be atoned for to go to heaven.
I have a problem with these being the only deadly sins. What about Idolatry? The iniquities (sinful addictions) go on to the 3rd & 4th generations of those who hate God. What about rebellion against God? What about denying Jesus?
The sin not forgiven is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. When one calling God evil, that person isn't going to be forgiven. Person needs to humble self, realize one is a sinner and confess Jesus Christ Lord & Savior of ones life. And of course believing in ones heart He shed His blood for the remission of our sins and raised up from the dead for our justification.

How dare you ask this question, you pissant! I would never ask such a question since I am above you. I would, however, ravage your body with kisses but I am in the midst of eating a Burger King Quad Stacker. I also envy the number of points you have accumulated. I want more and more but I am not willing to answer all these questions.

Envy, because it can drive us to do all the other sins as well.
And yes, to the girl above me, pride is a sin. Not pride as in self-confidence, but pride as in "I'm-better-than-everyone-else"

I didn't know that??I thought it was like lying, stealing, cursing, fornication, spiritism, wrath, idolotry and murder.
Oh, sorry that was 8!
I know what the fruitages of the spirit are? does that count?
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, mildness, faith, self control.
How can you be joyful if your not happy?
do I make points for those? then I'll be happy.

each of those sins can lead to any one of those other sins, so they all seem equally bad. That's if you believe in sin, anyway.

it is clearly written in Genesis, that cannibalism is the worst one.
but the one that is not listed in the scriptures is the Blasphemy of the HOLY GHOST.
but Idolatry, Pride and Lust come in close second.
wait Murder and rape isnt listed in these, either.
Oh yeah, and Unchastity falls in right behind murder.
