Nothing to complicated here, but I'm wondering which of the Seven Heavenly Virtues is most prominent amongst those on the Escapist.

See also the companion thread to this on which of the seven vices is also the most common among everyone around here. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.336727-Poll-What-Is-Your-Vice]

Personally, mine is almost certainly Temperance. I believe indulgence is fine as long as it is taken in moderation.

So, what's yours?

Hope, because I'm not sure I have any of the others to any degree. But I can hope for things.

Temperance, I've been told over and again by several people that I apparantly possess the patience of a saint.

I'm probably also quite big on faith/loyalty and fortitude/courage too.

I have no faith, I don't hope I act, I don't know what temperance and prudence are, but I do know that I have yet to meet something that I am afraid of that I won't confront, afraid of heights? Bungee, someone messes with me? Fight him (though I have yet to win a fight, I'm kind of a wimp), someone mugs me? I say Hello how are you doing man, long time no see! (You see it's funny because the guy and I used to go to school together, and he actually was kind of a bully and one time bashed my head against the wall), whatever I am not the bravest person in the world and I am not saying that I'm like a super hero but I'm sure that's most likely my virtue.

Hmmm...

Prudence (Chastity) Eh. Does involuntary chastity count?
Temperance *Flashback to various drinking parties* Nope.
Charity *Checks wallet* Seems not.
Faith (Loyalty) Haha, no.
Fortitude (Courage) The closest I get to being courageous is the internet having desentisized me to gore.
Hope Uh. I don't think so?
Justice (Diligence) I should be doing homework right now...

I guess hope is the one I'm the closest to.
This really doesn't look good for me, does it?

Good thing I don't care what some archaic arabs' ancient imaginary friend thinks of me, then, eh?

I thought Patience is one of the virtue? (That's my strong point.)
I guess Temperance is my next virtue although I see it more as money woe (I didn't spend all of my Christmas money since I'm saving it for other stuff in the future).
I also have faith (loyal to my friend) and hope (sure we're still in the recession but we will eventually get out of it).

Linked to my pride, I am also 100% loyal, to those I beleive in, and to my own beleifs! I often look at them as being yin and yang, 2 sides of the same coin and all that!

I'll go with faith/loyalty, though I'm drawn to justice too. But it's paired with diligence, and I'm a lazy bastard, so...

Well I must say that being a millionaire who risks life and limb to beat criminals to a bloody pulp on a nightly basis, I think my virtue is JUSTICE!

EXTREME JUSTICE!

No but seriously, the Kevlar suits and gas for my military grade vehicle gets really expensive, justice better be worth it.

How about "none" ? ;)
One may fall into "passive" category being neither especialy virtuous nor evil per se, just your average, pragmatic Joe.

I went with faith even though I've never yet had sex and am thus thoroughly chaste, because I think it's a more defining trait. I am pretty loyal; people come to me with secrets a LOT because of this.
