There's a god for Lust (Calistra), Pride (Asmodeus), Envy (Zon-Kuthon), Gluttony (Urgathoa), Greed (Norgorber), and Wrath (Rovagug). What about sloth?
Yeah... there IS a god of sloth, but he (and his followrs) are, well... slothful. The list of deities we've shown so far are the 20 most widespread faiths in Golarion; there are, in fact, a LOT more gods and faiths out there beyond these 20. One of those is the god of sloth, but his cult is very minor in the grand scheme of things.
Also... despite the fact that the Runelords have a lot to do with the seven sins... they DON'T have much to do with the current gods associated with the sins. Norgorber wasn't even around when Thassilon was around, for example. So if you're looking for gods to tie to the Runelords... you probably shouldn't. :-)

Actually, isn't Droskar the god of Sloth?
I am serious. Part of the reason for "Cheating" and use of slaves is to avoid working hard, hence the shortcuts his followers tend to take.

No not really, Aroden was just so slothful it took 9,900 years for him to die...

See I have a whole different approach to the God of Sloth.
See, Sloth is the Mother of all Invention... not necessity.
We invent things because we are too lazy to do them the hard way. We don't want to pick the crops so we make Scythes and later combines. We don't want to walk up the stairs so we make an elevator. We don't want to wlak at all so we domesticate horses. We don't like feeding the horse so we invent cars. We don't like writing letters so we invent email.
To me, the God of Sloth would be the god of invention, creative ideas and just plain don't want to keep doing the hard way.
I would think the elves would very highly venerate a god of sloth :)

I think you're right. "Work smart, not hard" is probably right up their alley.
And humans, too, of course. That's why they rule the world, while those who think that tradition is a good substitute for thinking for yourself are in decline.

The truly slothful let other people work smart _and_ hard.
Believe me, I know. And I think Ayn Rand will back me up on this one.

Have you ever seen an elf eat a sandwich over the toilet so he can avoid washing a dish?
Didn't think so.
Elves don't eat sammiches. Too many carbs. They just throw them straight into the toilet and skip that meal.
The ones who do eat them go bulemia them back up later anyway. Silly elves, they have such low self-esteem.

The Post Monster got me!
Elves don't wash dishes silly unicorn. At best they eat bugs off the dirt. And they don't even wash themselves! Like the tree they are humping cares how they smell.

A Dwarven sandwich is made with thick sourdough bread (that's sat so long that it's started to ferment, so that it tastes like beer-bread), covered with slabs of mutton, gravy, cheese and more mutton. There might be an onion on the side for after, which is considered a breath freshener. Wash it all down with ale, ale, and another ale.
Nothing beats a three-pint lunch after a hot day at the forge!
Deep-dwelling dwarves might substitute slabs of mushroom for the mutton, but accompany it with some deep-fried bats, a crunchy delicacy.
Bat-k-babs are popular as well, with three beer-batter-fried bats on a stick, interspersed with potatoes, mushrooms and onions.
