AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the acknowledgment of personal flaws and the concept of sin, with participants humorously admitting to various vices such as lust, gluttony, and pride. There is a playful exploration of the seven virtues—humility, meekness, charity, chastity, moderation, zeal, and generosity—contrasted against the sins. Participants engage in banter about the implications of these traits, questioning whether men can be chaste and joking about the dynamics between genders. The conversation touches on the idea that indulging in sins can lead to unexpected outcomes, including guilt and manipulation. Amidst the humor, there is a reflection on the struggle between virtue and vice, with some suggesting that virtues may not be enough to outweigh their sins. The thread concludes with light-hearted commentary on the absurdity of the situation, including a humorous take on the role of women in men's lives and the unexpected connections to broader themes like environmentalism.

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).

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.
