I'm certainly guilty of greed and envy. Anger. Pride...maybe, not sure on that one. Sloth YES. Lust..oh yes. Gluttony....no I don't think so. So I've got about 5/7 guilty. oh dear. What about you?

Jesus M, I'm taking a survey for God. I'll write you down as 'failure to comply'

Interestingly i go back and forth between two. Dealing with only one at a time.
Either its sloth, or its pride. =(

Yes, we are all sinners and I know for a fact that everyone on this site and in the whole world is at least guilty of one of them. I was guilty of envy, pride, anger and lust. I am not greedy as I will give just about anything to anyone if they ask, and I am not overweight, but I do like to snack a little when I am online, and I am not sure exactly what sloth is. However, I am a repented sinner and have been forgiven for my sins.

i guess we need to define them first.
example: what exactly is envy? indulging for a minute in wishing i was the ownder of the car that just went by, or going out of my way to undermine someone else's achievements? this makes a big difference, as while almost all of us have moments of the mild form of envy, not very many people experience the really serious stuff.
i don't do greed and envy - i wouldn't turn the lotery down, but i'll be quite happy with an elementary school teacher's salary. i don't need a lot of money or fancy stuff. i also tend to focus more on my own problems and achievements that anyone else's.
i am proud, but not to a fault - which i guess means i'm not arrogant. sloth? as in do i like to sleep in on weekends? yes. as in would i enjoy staying in bed all day? heck, no. lust? yep, though i don't indulge it and therefore find no reason to feel guilty about it. gluttony? as in i enjoy a good meal (yes), or as in i could eat my weight in junk food 3 times a day (no)?
i guess i don't do too bad. too bad i don't believe in god, i might have a chance.

I don't know that their deadly as the word says there is only one unforgiveable sin. The word also says "be ye angry but sin not." So it's ok to be angry as long as you don't sin while your angry. And yes before I became a Christian I was guilty of greed, envy, gluttony, fforniacation. I wasn't perfect. I still take pride in my work there's nothing wrong with that. And I would like to be smaller in size and would love to have more but you can't take it with you. I just say Praise the Lord for what I have.

lust? Not really.
gluttony? Thankfully no.
greed? For things? Yes. Of other people? No.
sloth? Is this the same as lazy? I can be lazy at times.
wrath? Oh yeah...
envy? No.
pride? To an arrogant point? No.
Meh, I don't believe in sins anyway.

Im Atheist so I dont believe in sins. As a matter of fact, its human nature. The two I correlate with are Anger and Sloth. I dont feel guilty about them.

All of them. Mind you - there is only 6 now - greed was transferred in the 80's to become a virtue

I've also counted up about 5 but I don't feel guilty - I do my best to not commit them. Anger pops in now and then but not as much as it used to.
