    Greed, gluttony, laziness, apathy, etc

    Though apathy is more like a state of mind. They are not sins, necessarily, but something inherent in humanity.. However, by giving the negative connotation "sin" to the word people will feel like they are committing an evil deed. This is also human. I would say mankind is very paradoxal. We have the hardest time trying not to give into "bad" deeds, yet they are tempting.
