Lust
Gluttony
Greed
Sloth
Wrath
Envy
Pride
Interestingly enough this list doesn't originate in Robert's bible nor from the teachings of his Christ.
The earliest recordings are from Mesopotamia, picked up by the Greeks and modified by the Romans. Old Pope Gregory fine tuned the list in the 6th century and Christian churches picked up on this and included the 'sins' into their sermons to keep the restless population down.
You might find this to be interesting reading:
Or not - what do I care (Sloth)?
I commit - if that's a thing - number 5 (Wrath) regularly when reading Robert's blog or his comments on my blog posts when he introduces stupid christian thoughts, ideas and fabrications into his writing. It's never-ending. I shudder to think what he's like to live with. One consolation is that when he's on his knees praying beside the bed he could easily look under it to find books, pens and other useful items that might have fallen there.
