In my opinion envy is the worst of them all because it pollutes your soul over things that are of no consequence to you as an individual. It creates a false sense of justice, one which compels you to injure your fellow humans for no true reason.

Below is an interesting article from The Intelligent Life (a publication from The Economist) that breaks down envy, while the other sins are detailed in separate articles at the bottom of the page.

I think its pride - most sins and lifestyles hinge on a belief that you know better than the almighty.

I voted for sloth.

Greed, because it leads to theft.

Pride

I also voted for pride. Pride is a sin that can impact on a societal level. All the others are purely individual sins that are justified through pride.

Overall I would say Envy. Second, I would say Wrath, then Lust, then Greed. But Envy leads to every one of the other six sins.

The correct answer is greed because it fuels the other six.

That's what I think about envy. But if you sit down and think about it, actually every one of those can lead to the other.

Envy

Envy. It's poison.

Pride, because people use it to justify the other 6...

Envy because Envy can lead to one being greedy, lustful, or wrath

Pride. It can propel a society's downfall.

Voted for sloth and too many Obama voters are guilty of it.

I voted sloth.

Greed has got to be up there because it actually hurts others more than yourself. Most of the others simply hurt the sinner.

But the question had nothing to do with politics. Do you see everything through a political spectrum?
