The Seven Deadly Sins...
Which one is your weakness,are you brave enough to admit to it? Is it more than one?
Are Accywebbers typical sinners or not....
You can vote for more than one option as some, like me, may have more than one failing.
Mine are:
Gluttony -I love fine food and wine -would kill for oysters and champagne at times.
Lust - only virtual, i have a fertile imagination!
Sloth -leave things till the last minute , am lazy.
Link below for a description of the 7 sins.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
PRIDE - No, in case I fall.
AVARICE (GREED) - Nope, as you can't take it with you.
ENVY - No, consider it a waste of energy. Energy that could be better used to achieve what it is you admire, someone else has.
WRATH (ANGER) - No. Again it takes too much effort, and time, that could be used tackling what might irritate you.
LUST - Yes, great fun. Though not something you can have a great deal of control over. It makes the world go round, and is the reason we're all here.
GLUTTONY - Yup, if something gives me pleasure, I'll happily fill my boots.
SLOTH - No. I may test myself, by leaving things until the last minute, but I always do everything I want to do, to the best of my ability, and on time.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
None of them.......now does anyone know where I can get this blooming Halo cut off?....it is crushing my brains .
Seriously though, I am human...so probably all of them at some time or another.
I think my worst sin is to have impure thoughts. And by this I do not mean the ones that involve carnal pursuits. I mean the ones where I think 'if he leaves that cupboard door open again, I am going to kill him'.
I'm sure I am not alone in this......and you can, I am sure think of ones of your own.
Mobertol, perhaps you would file this under Wrath, but to me it isn't in that category, because frequently it isn't 'heated - or angry'....it is just exasperation.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
Pride - no chance
Averise - no, quite happy with what I have
Envy - no, don't give a toss what anybody else has
Wrath - occasionally
Lust - the minds always willing the bodies always weak
Gluttony -not really these days, I used to drink more than my share of ale at one time
Sloth - na. can't stand being late or leaving things for another day

Great answer Less, sure you can be very original at times.
I identify totally with Margaret when she says

Can't be too bad though if you can put up with it and still smile.
