can you name the 7 deadly sins off the top of your head?

The seven deadly virtues, those ghastly little traps.

Yes I certainly can, and all the ten commandments too. I tend to forget about "sloth" but I've got them all down for real. Can also name the 14 articles of faith (mormon thing, v. silly they are), what each 10 bill of rights are, and all the counties in Idaho & their county seats (will never ever come in handy ever).

Yes. Sometimes I recite them to myself. Maybe I'm afraid I'm MISSING OUT ON ONE

I like how the only ones who replied were those of us with fucked up religious upbringings. Three cheers for extremism!

+ one agnostic-from-birth hardman lurking for signs of trollity

I knew them but only because I recounted the plot of the movie Se7en in my head.

I still know the Apostle's Creed though!

I used to know the Nicene Creed but I seem, blessedly, to have forgotten it. Things set to music are MUCH more memorable, which would explain why I know a song listing the books of the New Testament but have trouble with the Old (which I prefer, on the whole).

Oh haha I know a song of the OT books but not the NT. We should take out Biblical books routines on American Idol.

BIBLE SONG SWAP

GENesis EXodus LEVETicus Nuh_HUM-bers!

It is actually kind of my jam & way fun to sing, esp when everyone is drunk including me and they are all baffled why am singing the song that ends with "THESE are the BOOKS of the Old TestaMENT."

i thought this was just a catholic thing, there was absolutely no mention of the 7 in my old (nazarene)church nor any baptist one i've been to

I was never taught them in church, but it's just one of those cultural things floating around so I thought I should learn them, why not. And the ten commandments ESP. after that guy on Colbert could only name three.

There's more than one set of seven deadly sins.

Also, more than one set of 10 commandments.

Idaho counties are relatively stable.

lol like no one saw "Se7en"

I didn't see Se7en! Because I am a scaredy-cat, that's why.

i don't remember that movie cuz I was stoned

I think I know 5. (Is it wrong to mention the ones I'm not sure of?)

yes

I had to brainstorm with the people around me to try to get them all. I'm gonna look them up, now that I think of it.

I guess I was wrong about one of them. It wasn't really an adjective. I should have known.

"Pride" and "envy" are in there, right? I have 5 if so.

Oh, anger! (Or is it "wrath?") I'm up to 6 if that works.

7 deadly sins mnemonic = PALE GAS

envy
lust
pride
greed
uhhh...

Yes. I also know the song Laurel referenced in the first post. This is more because I really liked "Camelot" as a kid than religious upbringing though.

I remembered six of them, missed out wrath as I'm never, ever angry. Though often greedy, lusty and indolent.

drinking tea
being sarcastic
getting a piece of grit in your eye
taping red dwarf
too-tight trousers
playground swapsies
magic beans

i thought this was just a catholic thing, there was absolutely no mention of the 7 in my old (nazarene)church nor any baptist one i've been to

there is actually no mention of them in... the bible! factoid lol!

I love the music to Camelot. Not so much the movie, tho.

no

taping red dwarf

loool

They're not literally in the bible, no, but look: dissensus is one of them!

I also know the song Laurel referenced in the first post

This starts playing in my head every time I look at this thread. SO GLAD THERE ARE OTHERS

I can name a few. Would have been able if I was still in my 20s but now my brain has rotted away. Despite being an atheist, I always aced Religion in school. In fact the nun, who taught us, really liked me. Even after I did a parody of her (as a stripper nun) for a play. Actually I don't think she ever saw the play so in her mind I was still a good girl. hah. Uh, that is totally apropos of nothing.

It even put another song from the musical in my head! Haha yes I am glad there are others though, it still pops into my head when I think of the seven deadly sins.(xpost)

My birthday is in May. Yes, the lusty month of May. And in a good year, July and August cannot be too hot, and your lover will never leave you in the winter, when you catch the fire's glow. So invariably c'est moi who has these songs stuck in her head at regular intervals throughout the year.

1. gangster
2. avarice
3. tired
4. can't cook
5. push-ups
6. foot hurts
7. snobby

Didn't you guys see the PALE GAS mnemonic upthread?

The correct answer is

Parsnip, Avocado, Lettuce, Endive, Gourd, Artichoke, Sprouts

What is the maximum age your religion (or, if you are not religious, the predominant religion in your location) would regard as not being sinful? Preferred age of death Less than 70 70-90 90-120 120-200 200-1,000 No Limit Don't Know No Answer

Nath that is the awesomest thing I have ever heard.

Think some of my classmates are simps
Yearn for the worldly powers of a county commissioner
Ate a meatloaf and a half once

THE DOUBLE DEUCE!
Out of toilet paper; want more toilet paper
Sleep 14 hours a day when possible

WE ARE SINNERS ALL

especially the people who listed the sins they remember. it isn't as hard to figure them all out if you read 6 of them in this thread.

oh well, the cats out of the bag I guess

Putting a cat in a bag is definitely one of the deadly sins.

as in the cat will try to eat you alive deadly.
