I'd say wrath, because it's the most likely to harm someone other than just yourself. The others often are only harmful to one's self.

Well, lust, gluttony, pride sloth, and envy are bad, but hardly the worst, since they really only affect the practicioner. I mean, if I am envious, lustful, slothful, gluttonous, or prideful, only I will suffer the consequences (though they might be pretty serious consequences, in the end).
So it's between greed and wrath, both of which harm others beside the practicioner. Greed causes one to take what others have, and wrath causes one to harm others physically. Both can lead to serious crimes against others ... but I would have to go with greed, because short of murder, the victims of wrath may heal, but the victims of greed can lose everything they have.
Yeah, I say "greed".
Cheers.

I think Greed and Pride are the worse. They cause the others.
You become envious of what others have and that triggers gluttony,lust and sloth and then that triggers wrath.

Pride is by far the worst sin and it leads to all other sins. Pride means that you think as yourself as being better than other people, loving yourself and thinking that you are greater than God. They had the same concept in ancient Greece as well, it was called "Hubris" and ultimately it usually ends with Zeus striking down the person who commited it.

The easiest fixes to the sins is to not only perform the Examination of Conscience form on a weekly basis but to also pray for self mortification of all one senses for when a Christian watches over themselves they are doing what it takes to be a better Christian forever.

They are all the same. They are the result of 'you' believing that there is a separate entity called 'you' and this entity must have pleasure only and reject pain. You cannot escape any of these as the very act of 'finding freedom/salvation from bondage' is only driving you farther from the very 'freedom' the idea of these 'sins' has invented. It is a dog chasing it's tail and the dog has no idea that it is both the dog and the tail.

Pride. It was Lucifer's sin when he refused to kneel before God. Since Lucifer is the Prince of Hell, and the throne of Hell should be reserved for the most sinful; you could assume that pride is the sin that causes one to fall the most out of favor with God.

Envy...because that's what leads you to greed, wrath, pride...
It burns everything, instead of appreciating the good being achieved around!

I think pride is really the foundation to other sins... When you're proud, you justify your actions and convince yourself that you can do the other things.
