The 7 Deadly Sins consist of 7 Sins that are said to lead to inner struggle and other devices that destroy one’s self. I knocked out 5 or 6 on Super Sunday.
Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Anger, Sloth, Lust, Greed. That’s it. Those are the 7. Care to pick which ones I surrendered to on Super Bowl Sunday (the Sabbath ironically)?
We’ll start easy, with Anger (the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury, aka Wrath). I was rooting for the Cardinals. I screamed (quite loudly) with anger at the TV when the cardinals turned the ball over, when Warner fumbled, and when Holmes made the final toe-touching TD. Anger check.
Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work. The most physical work I did all day? See above. However, I did say the Lord’s name a few times so this could be a draw, but overall…Sloth check.
Lust. An inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. If I was the only guy visiting Go Daddy or reaching for some Doritos after their commercials aired then the other guys are lying (which is also a sin). Lust check.
Envy. The desire for others’ traits, status, abilities, or situation. I didn’t so much partake as I did create. I have a 50′ Plasma HDTV. The biggest of all my friends (as of right now). They were all envious, I know you read this and you were lol. Envy check.
Pride, from the TV, could give me another point. But whatever.
Gluttony. The desire to consume more than that which one requires. I made a football stadium out of food, seriously. Estimated caloric intake for the whole thing hovers around 23,000 calories. I ate wings, Twinkies, cookies, several types of dip, cupcakes, chips, a football made of chocolate, and lets not forget the beer. Gluttony a big fat check.
As far as Greed goes…I wanted to win the money in our Super Bowl game. But we’ll let that one slide.
How did you do?
