Seven Deadly Sins

Seven "cardinal" sins, not so bad in and of themselves but which could lead you to more serious things.

 Sin        Punishment in Hell                        Animal      Color       Dwarf   Castaway      Holiday

 Pride      broken on the wheel                       Horse       Violet      Doc     Professor     4th of July
 Envy       put in freezing water                     Dog         Green       Dopey   Mary Ann      St Patrick's Day
 Anger      dismembered alive                         Bear        Red         Grumpy  Skipper       Halloween
 Sloth      thrown in snake pits                      Goat        Light Blue  Sleepy  Lovey         Daylight Savings
 Greed      put in cauldrons of boiling oil           Frog        Yellow      Sneezy  Mr. Howell    Christmas
 Gluttony   forced to eat rats, toads, and snakes     Pig         Orange      Happy   Gilligan      Thanksgiving
 Lust       smothered in fire and brimstone           Cow         Blue        Bashful Ginger        Valentine's Day

What about the sin of sitting around thinking about what's going to happen to folks you dislike in hell?

Such could be motivated by any of the above.

Whereas the seven heavenly virtues are faith, hope, charity, fortitude, justice, temperance, prudence.

What are the rewards in Heaven for the SevenHeavenlyVirtues?

It is traditional in the Catholic church to refer to the "Seven Deadly Sins", and the "Seven Cardinal Virtues".

Actually, in Christian scripture, "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23); all sins tend toward death and are thus deadly. These are the "Seven Capital Sins", from the Latin caput, "head". These are classically considered the headwaters of all other sins.

What do people think about Apathy and SelfDeceit, are these not as big as at least Gluttony?

I think one could make an argument that apathy is the root of sloth and that SelfDeceit may be a special case of pride.

And Gluttony seems a little soft as far as great sins of man go ... but then again, Unbridled Consumption is a pretty ugly thing in any form.

{Yeah, gluttony isn't just about eating too much. It's also about SUV drivers.}
