All of the above, in some way, in some situation. All of us are sinners, so sinning is inevitable.

[Phantom_999]

Yeah We have all committed them all on some level I just chose what was most apparrent to myself rather than the more subtle ones

[Fenris]

All of them at some point, in one way or another.

[Iwantbuns]

Sloth. I am so freaking lazy...

[narusakuforlife1667]

Uhmm idk, I've been to hell ounce. The only real bad part were these two oiled up German guys trying to wrestle me.

[sushi.]

All of them. Mostly Wrath and Greed.

[James S Cassidy]

Well obviously, all of them at least once, but the only one I am really bad at doing is Sloth. The rest are either I believe were justified or just enough to be what they are, but not enough for me to really be considered that kind of person.

[Sakamaki Izayoi]

Greed.

Why are they so deadly? Sure, they're not great qualities to have in a person, but it's part of being human. Heck, we're hard-wired in our brains for most of these. Unless the big man in the clouds has just condemned all of humanity to that world of fire and brimstone, they're just part of being an imperfect person--which we all are. Also I doubt anyone has really transgressed so badly that it's harmful to themselves or others to such an extent. 

[narusaku256]

Sloth(The biggest one ever), wrath(pretty short tempered), envy and pride

"Deadly" is a matter of translation. For example, in Spanish they are called "siete pecados capitales" (siete=seven;pecados=sins;capitales=major in this context).

 

Anyway, I am not a theologist, so my answer can not be accurate or satisfying, but, I'll try...

 

Of course they are hard-wired in our brains. Religion teaches us that. Jesus Christ teached us that everybody is a sinner, and it is because that he told us "Be humble and do not judge others". Because all of us have sinned.

 

Sins are bad -from the mindset of a believer- because they harm you, harm others and move you away from God and your soul's salvation. Now, you can not help to commit sin... but you can try your hardest to not do it. Being perfect will not earn you salvation. Trying being so good as possible and being humble about it will do it.

 

And the seven deadly sins are the worst. Why? Because they often are seed of bad things -including other sins-. Also, they are bad mainly when they are uncontrollable. Then we are unable to dominate them and allow they dictate how we behave.

 

All of us have felt anger. It is natural. But we can try to dominate our anger and do not harm others.

 

All of us have felt lust. It is natural and even necessary. But uncontrollable lust may lead to thing like cheating and rape.

 

Pride more often than not leads to look down on other people. Looking down on other people leads to discrimination and prejudice. Also, someone excessively prideful often is unable to realize his/her flaws/mistakes and try to correct them/seek forgiveness for them.

 

Greed, Gluttony, Envy... lead to someone being more unhappy because he/she feels unsatisfied with a desire he/she can not fulfill.

 

And so on.

 

At least that is how I see it.

Well, yeah, most of these things are just human emotions. They become the seven deadly sins when in excess, I think. (Whoo, FMA reference.) Many or most of these things aren't inherently bad, the problem is the intentions and thoughts behind them and the actions they lead to.

 

Lust--perfectly natural and acceptable in the right place. Not acceptable to entertain sexual thoughts towards others when you're in a committed relationship, for example.

 

Gluttony--enjoying things isn't wrong. Enjoying things excessively to the point that it causes some kind of damage (health or otherwise) is.

 

Greed--my dad pointed out that simply thinking "aw, I wish I had that" isn't necessarily greed. It's when it becomes something of an obsession or a point of contention or something like that that it's a problem.

 

Wrath--hey, the Bible even says "be angry and sin not". Just being angry isn't wrath. Wrath is anger in excess and held onto.

 

Envy--about the same thing I said about greed.

 

Pride--feeling good about accomplishments is one thing, bragging about it and getting a big head over it is another.

 

 

Anywho, I voted "all of the above".

[Kamina-Yoshi]

All of the above.

You know, I better take these sins one day and just purge them from my body and create some Homunculus. Maybe then they can go chase after Vic Mignogna.

[KonaKonaFan]

I guess I mostly commit Lust and Pride. Especially Lust. Loooooots of Lust.

[Dalton.T.R]

Greed.
