Heh. I suppose so, but there *is* another way to look at them:
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 sevn deadly virtues free and happy little me has not been cursed

Yes they are what is the antithesis of the 7 deadly sin Purity (vs Lust), Moderation (vs gluttoney), Generousity (vs greed), Zeal (vs sloth), Meekness or Forgiving (vs wrath), Charity (vs envy), Humility (vs pride).
Most of what people are listing are known as the 4 Cardinal virtues Prudence, Justice, Temperence and Fortitude. Then a few list the 3 theological virtues: Faith, Hope, Love (charity).
There are also 7 gifts of the holy spirit some people confuse them with.

1 Corinthians 13:4.
Galatians 5: 22-26. These are nine characteristics that are to be a part of the Christian life.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Out of curiosity, weren't you once "wrathpuppet"?
Proverbs 6: 16These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
