There are people who would say that the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible is the true, infallible and accurate representation of God's Word. As one who grew up in that tradition, I was a bit confused in high school when the characters of Romeo and Juliet began to sound like the Prophet Elijah and the Apostle Paul. Anyway, that's a long story and it's going to be hard enough to make my point now that I'm spending all this time typing.
I was lying on my bed when I had a brief epiphany. I realized that the word "sloth" in KJV speak, really means "lazy". I didn't grow up Catholic, but I'm vaguely familiar with the Seven Deadly Sins. Not enough to name them, but enough to know that Sloth is one of them. I'd recommend learning about the Seven Deadly Sins by watching Bedazzled (the 1967 version with Dudley Moore). Back in 1997, I had a great computer game called Afterlife. It taught me about the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Virtues.
A place to go to learn about Sloth directly is here. I just discovered this site today and it's worth exploring. I'd write about Sloth myself, but it's nice that this author did it instead. It gives me time to go surf the net some more.
