Seven Deadly Sins

The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins, are a grouping of major vices in Christianity, consisting of pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. This classification originated with Tertullian and Evagrius Ponticus, and the concepts of the sins were influenced by Greco-Roman and Biblical antecedents. The list of seven deadly sins was refined by Pope Gregory I in AD 590 and has since been retained by various Christian denominations, including the Anglican Communion, Lutheran Church, and Methodist Church. The sins are generally considered to be in order of increasing severity, with lust being the least serious and sloth being the most serious.learn more on wikipedia
