Exmo take: there are divine attributes to each sin.

Sloth is to be meek and humble.

It is good to healthfully "lust" towards your lawfully wed spouce.

Take pride in your work, and family.

Be gluttonous in your education and church studies.

Be envious of God's attention by doing good acts.

There is a righteous wrath in terms of self defense and protecting others from wrongdoing.

And greed, well you gotta be wealthy in order to afford giving God a nice juicy tithe. Also gotta be self sufficient.

There's a bunch of mental gymnastics involved but that's from when I was a "good mormon boy."

Be envious of God’s attention by doing good acts.

To be fair, the Greek pantheon would definitely punish mortals for upstaging them, so at least this God got some of his priorities in order

Bible god punished and divided all humanity for trying to build a tower to meet him
