Seven deadly sins

The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins, is a Western religious grouping and classification of vices. This grouping emerged in the fourth century AD and was used for Christian ethical education and for confession. Though the sins have fluctuated over time, the currently recognized list includes pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth. There is a parallel tradition of seven virtues.

The seven deadly sins are called "capital" because they are the origins of other vices. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, a mortal or deadly sin is believed to destroy the life of grace and charity within a person.

The tradition of seven deadly sins as we know it today originated with the desert fathers, specifically Evagrius Ponticus. Evagrius identified seven or eight evil thoughts or spirits that one needed to overcome. Evagrius' pupil John Cassian brought that tradition to Europe with his book The Institutes. The idea of seven basic vices or sins was fundamental to Catholic confessional practices as evidence in penitential manuals as well as sermons like "The Parson's Tale" from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. This connection is also clear in how Dante's Purgatory is arranged according to the seven deadly sins. The concept of seven deadly sins was used throughout the medieval Christian world to teach young people how to avoid evil and embrace the good as is evident in treatises, paintings, sculpture decorations on churches. Works like Peter Brueghel the Elder's prints of the Seven Deadly Sins as well as Edmund Spencer's The Faerie Queene show the continuity of this tradition into the modern era.

    Bad Habits

    by: Number One Gun

    You give it back with a kiss
    And your white-washed eyes underneath
    And the colors created by scabs that bleed
    Scrub away at your face, do what you can
    But in the end it's up to Him
    Run where you came from
    Guessing, pending on your life
    Do I guess bad habits are not enough
    Give what you've taken
    Give yourself to what you hate
    Guided by hope
    Oh God, where were you
    When I needed you the most?
    And I've been so alone
    Back and forth from end to beginning
    I know, I know that it's time to give in
    We'll do this together
    Now that, I am ready
    Run where you came from
    Guessing, pending on your life
    Do I guess bad habits are not enough
    Give what you've taken
    Give yourself to what you hate
    Guided by hope, guided by hope
    Get me out of, get me out of this
    Before I get myself too deep
    Those bad habits are not enough
    I guess bad habits are not enough
    Banking on my selfish ways
    Of thinking as they lead me to believe
    Those bad habits are not enough
    I guess bad habits are not enough
    Run where you came from
    Guessing, pending on your life
    I guess bad habits are not enough
    Give what you've taken
    Give yourself to what you hate
    Guided by hope
    Run where you came from
    Guessing, pending on your life
