Hmm, I don't consider most of them sins when they only occur IN MODERATION. E.g. I guess lust would be one for me, but the extent to which it plays a part in my life I do not consider sinful at all. To me it would only become sinful if I harmed others with it. Sloth is a good one too, that may come closest to being sinful in my eyes since it harms me. I'm not exceptionally vain, usually not at all envious either. I wouldn't mind finally reaching a period in my life where financial worries would cease eating me up, but I'm not very avaricious. I can live on a small budget and just bide my time and hope things will look up a little. That leaves... erm... wrath and gluttony. :D Well, I have my bouts of the first one, trying to deal with that and it's getting more and more rare. But that might fall under the 'sinful' denominator. As for gluttony, LOL! I don't consider that a sin in my case [img]tongue.gif[/img] I'm fervently trying to gain weight and I *have* to eat as much as I can manage to stow away every day. It's finally working just a little bit too - I think I may have gained one or two pounds recently. What I do find sinful about gluttony is all the overweight children I see around these days. [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img] That's just disgustingly bad parenting. Parents have horrid eating habits themselves and are unable to provide a good example to their children - I find that really worrying! Apparently, the huge increase in childhood obesity will lead to a huge increase in diabetes patients later on. How can these parents do that to their kids? What you do when you're an adult is up to you, but to a child, a regular, healthy, not too high-fat diet is SO important!
Erm. Going off on a tangent here, sorry.
Anyway, in the poll I really wanted to pick "Most of the above" but since that option was unavailable and since none of the sins really sprung out in my case, I picked "All of them" ;) [img]graemlins/littleangel.gif[/img]

Hehehe... I would have said the same if I had to pick for you ;)
