I would have to say greed.......because the extent of the damage that could be caused by it, has the widest impact when compared to the other sins. I have known greed to divide families, break friendships and even end people's lives....greed can affect both the one who is greedy and the other.The other sins are more restricted to an individual and have far less effects on others, than greed.

The seven deadly sins is a list originally used in early Christian teachings to educate and instruct followers concerning (immoral) fallen man's tendency to sin. The misconception about the list of seven “deadly” sins is that they are sins that God will not forgive. The Bible is clear that the only sin God will not forgive is that of continued unbelief, because it rejects the only means to obtain forgiveness—Jesus Christ and His substitutionary death on the cross. Is the idea of seven deadly sins biblical? Yes and no. Proverbs 6:16-19 declares: “There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: (1) haughty eyes, (2) a lying tongue, (3) hands that shed innocent blood, (4) a heart that devises wicked schemes, (5) feet that are quick to rush into evil, (6) a false witness who pours out lies, and (7) a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.” However, this list is not what most people understand as the seven deadly sins. Listed in the same order by both Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th century, and later by Dante Alighieri in his epic poem The Divine Comedy, the seven deadly sins are as follows: pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed, and sloth. Although these are undeniably sins, they are never given the description of "the seven deadly sins" in the Bible. The traditional list of seven deadly sins can function as a good way to categorize the many different sins that exist. Nearly every kind of sin could be placed under one of the seven categories. More importantly, however, is that we realize these seven sins are no more “deadly” than any other sin. All sin results in death (Romans 6:23). Praise be to God, that through Jesus Christ, all of our sins, including the “seven deadly sins,” can be forgiven (Matthew 26:28; Acts 10:43; Ephesians 1:7).

I believe greed is the worse. Then again I believe pride is too. But, then again I was told that fornication is a deadly sin.

Envy and its close relation jealousy have done a lot to wreck lives, marriages, and families. I would say it leads pride and greed into becoming deadly.

Greed. Greed makes people steal, elected officials take bribes, law enforcement become corrupt.

I'd say greed or wrath, and by the way, I think it's neat that you chose "Prufrock" as your Yahoo! name.
