Pride is the progenitor of many other sins. For that, I would say pride.

Everyone has the sins pride and envy. I don't think greed is a sin, it's merely wishing for better circumstances in life and acting on those wishes. Many times wrath is justrified in revenge. Sloth, well, everyone has those moments when they just want to go back to sleep, should that be considered a sin?

Well they all have some good qualities - there's nothing wrong with being proud of something you've worked hard for and achieved, lust..well a bit of casual sex never killed anyone (protected of course), neither did laziness once in a while, gluttony - well who hasn't pigged out once in their lives?, and envy - so long as you don't kill someone in order to get their new handbag, it's alright. I'd say Greed and Wrath are the worst, as they can directly affect others in negative ways.

The Bible is very clear about what the worst sin is and it can be found in Matthew 12.31-32, and Jesus, Himself, is the One Who tells us what it is.
This verse describes the one sin that is unforgivable (it is called the unpardonable sin). In these two verses, Jesus tells us that all of these other sins -- pride, lust, greed, sloth, wrath, gluttony and envy -- are all forgivable offenses against God. But this one can never be forgiven.
What does it mean? The unforgivable sin is setting one's mind against the Holy Spirit and crediting Satan with what it obviously God's work.

I don't think any sin is worse than the other, just the gravity.
But to answer your question, I'd say it's PRIDE. That was the very first sin ever committed. Adam and Eve wanted to be like God and thought they could succeed in becoming like Him.

I'm gonna say it depends on the circumstance:
Pride - The Unibomber was motivated by pride
Lust - Pedophiles are motivated by lust
Greed - Our current US Admin is motivated by greed
Sloth - And the rest of us allow it because it would be too much work to stand up to it
Wrath - Drive-by shootings, wife beatings, etc. are motivated by wrath
Gluttony - I think this one and Greed are one and the same.
Envy - I think envy feeds Greed and Gluttony

I think they're all somewhat equivalent, 'cept I didn't know sloth was a sin.
Glad you got pride in there. This nation is always speaking of pride like it's a good thing. In fact, it blinds us, cripples and maims us. Makes us think we're right when we're extremely wrong. Empowers us when we should be backing down... glorifies the ego though it tramples upon God's will...

To be guilty of one sin is ti be guilty of all.
There is one sin in which there is no forgiveness.
Blaspheming the Holy spirit-which is to say that the power of the Christ is from Satan. This qualifies as the worst of sins

Pride. Pride comes before all sin. It came before the first sin. Adam and Eve wanted to be as good as God (prideful), so they took some juicy fruit and sinned against God. Even Satan (Lucifer pre-fall) fell because he wanted to be as good as God. Most sin occurs because we view ourselves more important or better than God. :|

Greed! More people have been killed over money than any other desired object in the history of the universe!
