Spongebob Squarepants and the Seven Deadly Sins?

Q. In my drama class yesterday, we started talking about Spongebob for some odd reason and it came up that the characters were based on the Seven Deadly Sins. I was confused at first of this topic, but the more I thought of it, the more I believed it!

SLOTH (Patrick)
Sloth is the sin of laziness, or unwillingess to act. This is Patrick because he lays under a rock all the time and doesn't really do anything. In fact in the episode "Big Pink Loser" he got an award for doing nothing the longest.

WRATH (Squidward)
Wrath involves feelings of hatred and anger. Squidward hates his life, usually hates SpongeBob, and is pretty much angry most of the time.

GREED (Mr. Krabs)
Mr. Krabs is greedy and desires money. He actually sang about the power of greed in "Selling Out".

ENVY (Plankton)
Plankton is envious of Mr. Krabs because The Krusty Krab is a success while The Chum Bucket is a failure. His envy drives him to try to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula.

GLUTONY (Gary)
Did you ever notice the running gag in Spongebob where they say "don't forget to feed Gary" or Sponge says "I gotta go feed Gary". Gary even ran away that time when SpongeBob forgot to feed him. Glutony usually refers to the overindulgence of food so I'm guessing this one fits him pretty well.

PRIDE (Sandy)
Sandy takes a lot of pride in who she is and where she comes from. She takes pride in the fact that she is from Texas and likes to let everyone know it. She also takes pride in the fact that she is a mammal and a land creature, like in the episode "Pressure" where she tried to prove land critters were better than sea critters.

LUST (Spongebob)
Ok, I know what your thinking. It does seem a little weird and curious at first but I have given it a lot of thought. Lust in one definition is "excessive love of others". I think this one works best for Spongebob. He shows his love of others with his overeagerness to do good and help people. If anything is true about SpongeBob its that he loves everyone around him, even if they don't exactly love him back.

***So what's your opinion on this topic? At first, I didn't believe it, but I don't know. What do you think? (Please give honest feedback.)


Answer
You can relate anything to the 7 deadly sins if you wanted to

So I think this is unnecessary

Q. I heard the seven main characters represent the 7 deadly sins I'm not sure though is that true??? if it is. Is it...
Mr. Krabs- Greed
Spongebob-lust
Patrick- sloth (laziness)
Planton- envy
Sandy cheeks - pride
I forgot the others anyways please no rude comments thank you :) and can you list them if its true thanks


Answer
How could spongebob POSSIBLY represent lust??? Or any of the characters, for that matter?? its not true, its just people trying to find more meaning than there actually is.
