Pride is considered to be the cardinal sin— worse than all the others. To be prideful or hubristic is to think oneself superior to others, or allow themselves to think they are better than God himself.
When the Executioner's book is first discovered, only two names are written on it before the actual target has been chosen. Both acts attempt to play God by taking a life into their own hands, a sin of pride.
Initially Tom claims that his killing spree came about due to bringing justice and enacting God's work. But he reveals to both Sarah and the Executioner that he was simply acting out of an injured pride due to being used and blackmailed by the two.
Meanwhile, before coming back to Waterbury Sarah attempted to end her own life by swallowing a bunch of pills. The punishment for the sin of pride is to be broken on the wheel. Since Iain knew this when he kidnapped Sarah, he attempted to make her death look like the Executioner's work by throwing her onto a tire pile and breaking her bones with a tire iron.
However, she managed to get away before he could kill her. When the Executioner himself attempted to kill Sarah, he was going to throw her onto a sawblade used for logging. But Tom spoke up for Sarah and managed to convince him that he deserved to be punished, not her.

Is it supposed to chill their desires? Gluttony is normally associated with eating too much, but it has a broader connotation that includes trying to consume more of anything than you actually need, food included. Thomas Aquinas wrote that Gluttony is about:. Thus the phrase "glutton for punishment" isn't as metaphorical as one might imagine.
In addition to committing the deadly sin of gluttony by eating too much, one can do so by consuming too many resources overall water, food, energy , by spending inordinately to have especially rich foods, by spending inordinately to have too much of something cars, games, houses, music, etc. Gluttony could be construed as the sin of excessive materialism and, in principle, focus on this sin could encourage a more just and equitable society.
Why hasn't this actually occurred, though? Although the theory might be appealing, in practice Christian teaching that gluttony is a sin has been a good way to encourage those with very little to not want more and to be content with how little they are able to consume, since more would be sinful. At the same time, though, those who already over-consume have not been encouraged to do with less so that the poor and hungry could have enough.
Over-consumption and "conspicuous" consumption have long served Western leaders as means for signaling high social, political, and financial status. Even religious leaders themselves have been arguably guilty of gluttony, but this has been justified as glorifying the church.
When was the last time you even heard a major Christian leader single out gluttony for condemnation? Consider, for example, the close political connections between capitalist leaders and conservative Christians in the Republican Party. What would happen to this alliance if conservative Christians began condemning greed and gluttony with the same fervor they currently direct against lust?
Today such consumption and materialism are deeply integrated into Western culture; they serve the interests not just of cultural leaders, but also Christian leaders. The Gluttonous--those guilty of the sin of gluttony--will be punished in hell by being force fed.
Lust is the desire to experience physical, sensual pleasures not just those which are sexual. The desire for physical pleasures is considered sinful because it causes us to ignore more important spiritual needs or commandments.
Sexual desire is also sinful according to traditional Christianity because it leads to using sex for more than procreation. Condemning lust and physical pleasure is part of Christianity's general effort to promote the afterlife over this life and what it has to offer. It helps lock people into the view that sex and sexuality exist only for procreation , not for love or even just the pleasure of the acts themselves.
Christian denigration of physical pleasures, and sexuality, in particular, have been among some of the most serious problems with Christianity throughout its history. The popularity of lust as a sin can be attested by the fact that more gets written in condemnation of it than for almost any other sin. It's also one of the only Seven Deadly Sins that people continue to regard as sinful. In some places, it seems that the entire spectrum of moral behavior has been reduced to various aspects of sexual morality and concern with maintaining sexual purity.
This is especially true when it comes to the Christian Right--it's not without good reason that nearly everything they say about "values" and "family values" involve sex or sexuality in some form. Lustful people--those guilty of committing the deadly sin of lust--will be punished in hell by being smothered in fire and brimstone. There doesn't appear to be much connection between this and the sin itself, unless one assumes that the lustful spent their time being "smothered" with physical pleasure and must now endure being smothered by physical torment.
Anger--or wrath--is the sin of rejecting the Love and Patience we should feel for others and opting instead for violent or hateful interaction.
Many Christian acts over the centuries like the Inquisition or the Crusades may seem to have been motivated by anger, not love, but they were excused by saying the reason for them was love of God, or love of a person's soul--so much love, in fact, that it was necessary to harm them physically. Condemnation of anger as a sin is thus useful to suppress efforts to correct injustice, especially the injustices of religious authorities.
