It isn't too late, woolie. Seven virtues: humility, meekness, charity, chastity, moderation, zeal, and generosity.

True, the others sound like more fun...
 
Wow. This site came up in a search for some lists of sins and virtues. This is from the list of sins:
Do not demonstrate these values yourself. Suggest that the other person is succumbing to one or more of these values and they will likely head in the opposite direction.

Another approach is to play the Devil and encourage the other person to give into these natural tendencies.

You can then either use this 'rule-breaking' as evidence that they can do things they previously would not consider. You can even use it then as a guilt lever, maybe even as a form of blackmail (this is far more common than may be supposed).

:smile: I guess there wasn't room on the list for blackmail.
 
humility, meekness, charity, chastity, moderation, zeal.

Remember... virtue is its own punishment.

Can our virtues outweigh our sins. I have a lot of zeal and a moderate amount chastity while generously giving to charity in a humble and meek sort of way.

The key words for this thread are appearantly "SIN, SLOTH, LUST" and they all have to do with saving the rainforest... who knew one man's vices dealt with saving the rainforest...
