Anger: I've smashed several corrugated wooden doors in half, but I once smashed my fist through a solid wooden one in a particularly foul mood. yes.
Envy: Nope.
Gluttony: I actually don't know what my eating limit is. I've gotten bored of eating a lot before, so yeah.
Greed: If you know my history of ripping people off, this one should be an ibvious yes..
Lust: I guess so, yeah.
Pride: Nah.
Sloth: YES.

wrath or sloth must be the worst of the seven sins.

is the man who murdered another worse than the man who could have stopped it but didnt?

I'm afraid you have be blue, naked, and have spent a short period on mars to correctly answer that question.

Um, the murderer? Why the hell would it be my responsibility to jump in between some raging man with a bazooka out to kill you? Fuck no.

OddjobAbe 06-18-2009 02:53 PM

What if he was to go about less dramatic measures of murdering somebody?

Havoc 06-18-2009 03:23 PM

Well if I could prevent a murder from the chair I was sitting in right now then sure. To much trouble otherwise.

i did mean it in a very subtle way, not jumping beween 2 murderous blokes.

which is completely beside the point if she's going to remain chaste.

Exactly what I was going to say. Thank you, WoF :)

Pride is considered to be the worst sin, as its commonly believed that all other sins stem from pride (you must think yourself better than someone else to be envious, you must think yourself great enough to commit greed, and so on).

If we're being really technical Sloth, in the context of the Deadly Sins, is not laziness. Specifically, its "spiritual apathy" or defying god's will. You could extend this by saying that god wishes us to do something with our lives and thus was commit sloth by wasting away. But its original meaning was intended for people who shirk their religiously dictated responsibilities.

Anger: Im pretty calm in most situations.
Envy: Yes.
Gluttony: I eat. Alot.
Greed: Only reason I want money is to be able to do things and buy things, so guess no.
Lust: Yes.
Pride: Not really.
Sloth: Im lazy like a sloth. ba-dum-tis

Rex Tirano 06-19-2009 03:05 AM

Anger: I rarely get angry - outwardly or otherwise; I'm rather laid back.
Envy: I doubt I get more envious than the next person, same applies as above,
Gluttony: I enjoy food. Alot.
Greed: Not really.
Lust: I'm with Artemis on this one, although my reasons stem from bad times. As a general rule, nowadays I have no sexual desires and I see sex in an obscure way.
Pride: More than I should.
Sloth: Same as above.

I think the more pertinent question is whether the man who murdered Havoc is worse than the man who could have stopped it, but didn't.

The answer is neither.

Havoc 06-19-2009 08:53 AM

Well I didn't know I was the intended victim. In that case I would obviously try to stop it.

mr.odd 06-19-2009 09:59 AM
