 Journey with Spirit
According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, sin is a morally bad act not in accord with the divine law of God, including the seven deadly sins of pride, avarice, gluttony, lust, sloth, envy, and anger.
During the Reformation, Protestants decided that the Roman Catholic concept of sin was a tad too complex, so they simplified it to: You sin, you repent by declaring faith in Jesus as lord and savior, and you receive a lifetime salvation guarantee.
Sin is further divided into different categories, including original and actual, mortal and venial, commission and omission, material and formal, internal and external, and voluntary and habitual (also known as macula peccati reatus culpæ or Ima gonna sinna overa and overa againa).

 Music: Turn Up That Noise! (Memphis Flyer . 08-18-97)
While a concept album perhaps has the right to be treated only as a whole, the loose, non-narrative framework provided by the Deadly Sins allows the pieces to be considered separately.
A concept album based around the Seven Deadly Sins, the first track, "Prelude," features a frantic yet tempting violin solo by Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg meant to introduce the root of all sin, the Devil.
The lethargic flow and biting sarcasm of "Passacaglia/A Bud and a Slice (Sloth)" -- held together by the vocals of the Crash Test Dummies' Brad Roberts -- is a true and contemporary musical interpretation of the laziest vice, and the frenetic drumming of "Right (Anger)" is the same for the hottest.

 e-Misha's Words on A
"Acedia" comes from a combination of the negative prefix "a-" and the Greek noun "kedos," meaning "care, concern, grief." (The Greek word "akedeia" became "acedia" in Late Latin, and that spelling was retained in English.) "Acedia" initially referred specifically to the "deadly sin" of sloth.
It first appeared in print in English in 1607 describing ceremonies which could induce this sin in ministers and pastors, but that sense is now rare.
Writer Gary Danko of _SF Weekly_, once described brunch as "a stupefyingly lavish buffet spread that will do nothing to erase your acedia."

In "Gluttony," the latest in a series of short books on the seven deadly sins published by the Oxford University Press, Francine Prose observes that most of the feasting in both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament "is, as it should be, celebratory, unclouded by guilt, regret or remorse."
It was not until the sixth century that Pope Gregory the Great classified gluttony -- along with pride, greed, lust, envy, anger, and sloth-- as one of the gravest perils to the soul.
Gluttony may have seemed bestial to the Carthaginian church father Tertullian, who complained of the mass belching that soured the air at great Roman feasts.

 Seven Deadly Sins of Fundamentalism: assessing memetic weapons capability of neoconservatism
Of particular interest in assessing the cognitive sins associated with the ineffective response to the social problems that are the preoccupation of governance, is that of academic procrastination -- a form of the sin of sloth.
Such distortion is however consonant with other forms of fundamentalism and single-factor thinking, even those associated with some narrow forms of technocracy.
Cognitive therapy is directed at a set of 10 widely-cited common cognitive distortions, or faulty thought patterns identified by Albert Ellis (Reason and Emotion in Psychotherapy, 1962), Aaron Beck and D Stein (The Self Concept in Depression, 1960) and David D Burns' Ten Forms of Twisted Thinking (in The Feeling Good Handbook, 1989):

 The Seven Deadly Sins at Work, Part 1
Various authors have also matched each of the seven deadly sins with their contrary virtues, whose practice might provide some protection against the seven deadly sins: humility against pride, generosity against avarice, kindness against envy, temperance against gluttony, chastity against lust, patience against wrath, and diligence against sloth.
Perhaps driven by the opportunities of the new method of private penance and the obligation to rationalize the matching of misdeed and type of penance, Christian thinkers began to classify sins according to their nature and severity.
Since the end of the Middle Ages, the Christian church has passed through Reformation and has expanded through much of the world, largely retaining the central position of sin within its theology.

Grant (1982) conceptualized the seven deadly sins as sins of misplaced childhood (sloth and gluttony), prolonged adolescence (wrath and lust), and exaggerated adulthood (avarice, envy, and pride).
Mowrer (1976; see Drakeford, 1967) proposed a theory of the damaging psychological effects of unacknowledged sin (particularly among Protestant Christians), and suggested as a remedy "integrity groups" that in many ways mirrored the procedures of the early Christian worship services discussed previously.
Campolo (1987/1989), a sociologist, has described sins as "attitudes, emotions, and states of mind [that] condition our behavior in ways that are destructive to ourselves and to those who are around us" (p.
