Sin.

Men and women sin in different ways.



The seven sins:


1. LusT

Excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature can lead to sexual addiction, fornication, adultery, bestiality, rape, perversion, and incest.






2. GluttonY



Gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste. In the Christian religions, it is considered a sin because of the excessive desire for food, or its withholding from the needy.





3. GreeD



A sin of excess, Greed (as seen by the church) is applied to the acquisition of wealth in particular.






4. SlotH


Sloth is viewed as being a refusal to enjoy the goodness of God and the world God created. However, the definition of sloth has changed considerably. Now it represents the failure to utilize one's talents and gifts.






5. WratH


Wrath (or anger or "Rage") may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger.






6. EnvY


Like greed, envy may be characterized by an insatiable desire; they differ, however, for two main reasons. First, greed is largely associated with material goods, whereas envy may apply more generally. Second, those who commit the sin of envy resent that another person has something they perceive themselves as lacking, and wish the other person to be deprived of it.







7. PridE


In almost every list pride (or hubris or "vanity") is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and indeed the ultimate source from which the others arise. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to give compliments to others though they may be deserving of them, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God).





The most common sin for women is pride, while for men, the urge for sex.


The most common sin for men to face was lust followed by gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride.



For women the most common sins were pride, envy, anger and sloth.
