Seven deadly sins/Seven holy virtues

Which of the seven deadly sins - and holy virtues - do you think apply most to you? Feel free to elaborate! :D

I think for me... it's either pride or possibly sloth or envy. But I see my pride as not so much vanity - I'm a very self-conscious and under-confident person - but a feeling of pride for my attributes. And not my good ones, either, I'm equally proud of my bad points. It's to the point where I'm happy when I discover I have a bad trait because I can then be proud of it and feel like I am something and can be described. Yeah. It's strange.

EDIT: Okay so I was talking about the Christian virtues for mine... uh, then DEFINITELY chastity and patience.

What about YOU?

My sin is gluttony, I won't deny myself anything that I want. My virtue is justice, although admittedly it is in a selfish sense.
 
I think I've run through all the seven sins through my life (and I hope to run through them more thoroughly in the future), but I think the ones that apply to me the most right now are probably Sloth, Gluttony and maybe Pride. Though I don't see how being prideful of one's work is a bad thing.
I would add Lust, but since I think you're supposed to actually go out and get down to be able to commit this sin I'm out.

Virtue-wise, I think I've shown a surprising amount of Patience and a little Kindness here and there (in real life, mostly). In a big contradition, I often try to be as humble as I can, and according to Wikipedia's description of Humility ('Modest behavior, selflessness, and the giving of respect. Giving credit where credit is due; not unfairly glorifying one's own self') it sort of applies.

I on't know, I've always found the concept of Seven Sins/Seven Virtues too black and white. They do make for great anthropomorphic representations though.
 
Hmm, not sure about the virtues, but my sins are Sloth, Gluttony, and a little envy.

...You know, I actually started thinking about the sins in school and was going to come home and post this thread. ZOMGs Prediction Powers! o_O
 
I'd say I relate to Wrath and Pride lot, the ironic thing is that I can also be very patient, I'd also say Diligence, as I always do my best to finish a work in time.
 
Sloth! And Wrath in my head sometimes.

Virtues... err... I dunno. D: Courage? Ugh I can't remember all of the virtues they taught us in Sunday School
Hope, Faith, Courage, Justice, Temperance, Prudence and Charity?

... Oh wait
you're talking about the other ones

Er
Chastity, I guess!
 
I'm guess my virtue is Charity. Actually, I'm not sure if that is even fitting. I want to help people, but I don't always do.

Those ARE the seven virtues, aren't they? *is confused*

EDIT: Oh wow I'm an idiot. I got the Christian ones and the actual ones mixed up. >_> Damn you Wikipedia!

Haha, I was like 'durr?' at VPLJ's post for like ten minutes before I realised. I wish I could take Wikipedia everywhere with me, I really do!
 
I'm all seven deadly sins!

Nope, you're the eighth sin. They invented Stupidity just for you.

Virtues are Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness and Humility.

I think I'm the bolded ones. Although does it count if you consider yourself to be humble? :P

They oppose/cancel out Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride, respectively.

Hrm.
 
For since, I've got lust, sloth, and evey on my side. I'm a very lazy person and I can be fairly jeaolous. That and I'm a big pervert.

As for virtues, Pateince is the only one that applies as far as I care.
 
I think I'm a moderate mix of most of them (odd, since they're supposed to be opposites); definitely sloth, envy, pride and gluttony, but I'd also say I'm decent with the kindness, the charity and possibly the patience (as in I'm patient with people - but you should see me waiting for stuff I've ordered off the internet to arrive).
 
Envy and courage the most, but the others in a mix, I guess. (That is one of the virtues, right? I always get them mixed up..)
 
Sloth, Envy, Pride and Wrath.

Come to think of it, I can't think of any of the Virtues' definitions that I fit. >>
 
undoubtedly sloth

edit: also lol at the retarded christian virtues. how is "hope" a virtue?
 
Seven deadly sins, I would say Wrath, Sloth and envy. The seven holy virtues, I would say temperance and maybe kindness...
