God and the Seven Deadly Sins

I was thinking about something this morning that boggles my mind. It has to do with God....
A thought enters my mind at the thought of this....Do YOU think that God is really that egotistical that he wants you to pray to him all the time, worship him at all times possible, and fear him? I believe in God. Yes I do, but I don't think he meant for us to go to Church all the time, just to learn about things he has done.
Think...The Seven Deadly Sins;
Pride - If God wants us to follow Humility, the virtue that Pride is a Cardinal Sin against, don't you think he would follow it too? The fact is, in the Bible, God shows his power. If we are constantly going on about his power and going to church every chance we get, doesn't that show God's Pride?
Lust - For one thing, with God watching us all the time, why would Priests and Bishops still have intercourse with children? That thought alone sickens me. The thought that these people who preach of a God that will send you to hell for the smallest of sins; these are the people all over the news about a very bad sin...Whoever thought the person that is yelling at all of you blasphemies in the pews as you pray Hail Maries and confess your sins to them in the booth is the person violating your children, most likely thinking that it will be alright if they confess it?
Wrath/Anger - Hot Button on religion here! Some religions show the Wrath of God and how we should all fear him; some don't. It's as simple as that. This is a big Cardinal Sin, but God showed much Wrath and Anger in the first Testament of the Bible. That's not very God like, now is it?
Sloth - Well this one doesn't have much to do with the conversation at hand, but 'tis a sin nonetheless....
Avarice/Greed - I know the church needs money to upkeep places of worship, but all these Armored Cars for the Pope, The Vatican is Monstrous, and I've been to Churches that could double as Royal Castles...With all the money the churches collect each Sunday, don't you think most of that should go towards Charity, except what the Church needs to live off of? No. Most Churches have Basketball Courts, a huge kitchen, and much more. This is a place of worship, not a fucking mansion. Some churches need to remember this.. You don't need something like a basketball court to affirm the Faith of a younger generation; they either believe or they don't!
Gluttony - This fits right in with the previous paragraph...Gluttony is not just about food, as some may think, but of everything. The virtues it goes against are Temperance and Faith. (ie. using all the money for building huge tombs for past popes and temperance from having sex with young children.)
Envy - Yes, envy...Priests cannot be envious of others love (virtue) and do the things we do. Churches can not be envious of other churches and build something just like the other to keep faith for their more envious members.
One last thing before I get struck by lightning....If God is so powerful and Vengeful, why doesn't he take these wrongdoers in his court and Show them to the World. Why would he let something like this go on? Does he just want to wait until they die, and then send them to Hell? That's not proving anything at all! People of the Church will still keep doing this because their higher power hasn't done anything to stop them...
