How many deadly sins are there? I bet you said seven. You’re wrong. If you read the title and tried to be a smartarse and said eight, you’re also wrong. There are nine deadly sins, or at least there used to be. Two have been forgotten over time, or were deemed too similar to others and were simply consumed by the bigger sins.
