How Wrath, Envy & Sloth Impact Modern Society
Thou shall not murder, thou shall not steal, and thou shall honor thy mother and father. These are three of the Ten Commandments which have been given to society from the Bible, and that depict sins against God. There are also the seven deadly sins set by society which include: lust, greed, envy, sloth, wrath, gluttony and pride. These seven deadly sins are not in the bible or sins against God, but in their own ways can be just as deadly with similar consequences.

It is said that the punishment for wrath is that in hell “you will be dismembered alive”. We all feel wrath or anger in some point of our lives, but most of us in society know how to control this deadly sin. Those who cannot control their anger fall into a life of sin. One form of anger that we as Americans have experienced is the anger that is shown to us by Muslim countries because of the making of a video that depicts the Prophet Muhammad. These individuals have taken their anger and turned it into pure violence. This exemplifies exactly how anger can be one of the worst deadly sins of all. It not only affects the lives of the individuals that hold the anger, but also those who the anger is taken out on. Envy “kills with hatred”. The punishment for envy is believed that in hell you will be “put in freezing water”. As a society, we want what we can’t have. We strive to
