Seven "Deadly" Sins?

The devil's in the details
So, I’ve recently finished reading this book, and it’s terribly interesting. It’s called, “The Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good.”

“For the first time, Slipknot and Stone Sour front man Corey Taylor speaks directly to his fans and shares his worldview about life as a sinner. And Taylor knows how to sin. As a small-town hero in the early '90s, he threw himself into a fierce-drinking, drug-abusing, hard-loving, live-for-the moment life. Soon Taylor's music exploded, and he found himself rich, wanted, and on the road. His new and ever-more extreme lifestyle had an unexpected effect, however; for the first time, he began to actively think about what it meant to sin and whether sinning could--or should--be recast in a different light. Seven Deadly Sins is Taylor's personal story, but it's also a larger discussion of what it means to be seen as either a "good" person or a "bad" one. Yes, Corey Taylor has broken the law and hurt people, but, if sin is what makes us human, how wrong can it be?”

The book basically has a chapter for each “seven deadly sin” and explains how each isn’t really a sin, but just human nature. However, when he says “sin,” he means it more on a moral level, not so much on a biblical level. As a general rule, he basically states that these are not really sins, but flaws in character (or human nature) that can lead to awful decisions. I agreed with about 90% of the things stated in this book, but it is at least interesting.

The book mostly consists of Corey sharing his experiences with each “sin,” and expanding on the philosophy behind it.

So here, I will quote segments of each chapter that I found interesting. And yes, it is VERY tl:dr.

Wrath


Lust


Vanity


sloth


Envy


Greed


Gluttony


So, here's my question to you. Do you think the Seven Deadly Sins are actually deadly?

Imo the seven sins define personality, we all have them, and I see them as personality traits, they make us all unique.
For example I would say that I have the following 3 traits of sins: Envy, Sloth, and Wrath.

They aren't necessarily a bad thing.

These aren't really deadly sins, though. None of these would really drive you to death.
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about, watching some good friends screaming "LET ME OUT!"
