I think all the deadly sins are just reflections of aspects in our human nature that the Catholic faith found to be undesirable, in the extreme sense, and so tried to quelch these inhibitions rather than stress moderation. Human nature cannot be denied. At least not in every single person. The church only proved this because there were still priests and nuns indulging in sin. The 7 deadly sins are only bad in the extreme sense where they become consuming passions that over ride the rest of our human nature; adversly affecting ourselves and those around us.
I like this answer and frankly I don't see it any more plain than that (at least on my perspective) so I would like to say that this is very correct but would also like to add that if anything were to be considered a deadly sin it should be religous tolerence.. IN a sense that some people tend to have for a religion other than their own, its as if they shun and curse all other people that simply have different perspective on a certain aspect, yet they grow to hate and commit "sins" to people that are not their religion shouting that they are the ones doing wrong and need to be put to rest.... any ways that is all I have to say...
With MUCH respect to everyone,
