Actually they started out as the eight deadly temptations and later got edited down to seven and rebranded as sins. And of course, like the depiction of Hell in Dante’s Divine Comedy, they appear nowhere in the Bible. Which might come as a surprise to the catholic nuns and priests who I had to listen to in grade school, going on endlessly about how Jesus warned us about the seven deadly sins. Did they ever even read the thing?
