My first thought was fornication, but heck, ACBG and I fornicate like, errr, bears any chance we get anyways, so I’ll go for stealing a boatload of money. Then we can go fornicate in exotic locales. 😃 ---

Adultery. With Patrick Rafter. Of course, I’d probably have to commit a few more sins (e.g. drugging him) to get him into bed. But I could live with that. ---

I’m ashamed to admit it, but adultery, with any or all of the following: Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Denzel Washington(love his grin!), or Tom Selleck. ---

I would like lots and lots of money. But if I can’t have that I want to kill someone ---

I think the sin I would most like to commit, pending no reprisals, would be the idolatrous worship of graven images. I’m just surprised that no-one has said it already! ---

I’ll have to say murder. (Er…I’d get to choose the person, right? This isn’t like some Twlight Zone thing where I’d have to kill the first person I saw or who admits they love me, or something, is it?) ---

Serial Killer. :eek: Just for the chance of the sheer “out-wittedness” of it. Yeah, that stuff fascinates me and I’m positive I could do it better. 😃 😃 😃 ---

Given that it WILL have the consequences that I intend (if I read the question right), I’ll just send an email to Microsoft HQ saying, “Hi! Bill Gates asked me to let you know that you should transfer all his shares of Microsoft into my name. Thanks!” and let them take it from there. I’m a lazy sinner.
