False pride
[AMERICANTHINKER] By Eric Utter

Pride.

Everyone is so proud. So damn proud!

We just came through Pride Month. Pride parades, celebrations, commercials, and notices were ubiquitous, everywhere, like drag queens. And not just where you might expect them, either.

It seemed nary a crosswalk, sports team, business, or email was unadorned by some form of acknowledgement or touting of the LGBTQ community.

So proud! Couldn’t be any prouder of our gender (whatever it is today) or sexuality!

Because that is what matters, what is really at the very heart of who we are, right? And that’s why they want to make sure youngsters are involved, as well. The younger the better. The younger, the prouder!

Hunter Biden is proud. And therefore defiant. And his dad, the president, claims he is “the smartest man I know.” And who would know better than Old Joe? No wonder Hunter is proud.

Dr. Jill Biden is proud, too. Of her husband. She exclaimed to him (of his recent debate performance) “You answered every question … !”

Well, sort of … and not at all well, but, hey, ice cream and a gold star for the commander-in-chief.

The pro-Hamas students on every campus are also proud. They are in-your-face proud. So proud of supporting the Hamas terrorists that many chanted “We are Hamas!”

NBC was once so proud its slogan was “Proud as a peacock!” It was so proud, in fact, that it spun off a new channel named Peacock. And the Peacock network has shows like “Queer As Folk,” “Queer Planet,” and “TransAmerica.”

All in its “LGBTQIA+ Collection.”

You know who else is proud? Nearly everyone! Muslims, feminists, Native Americans, “educators,” “journalists,” the polyamorous, etc.

Everyone but straight, white, male Christians. And why should they be proud, anyway? The younger ones have been kicked out of the military … and the older ones branded “domestic terrorists.”

No pride for you!

I mean there is only so much pride to go around, right?

I can’t remember, does pride cometh — or goeth — before the fall?

#3 Pride

Pride (superbia), also known as hubris (from Ancient Greek ὕβρις) or futility. It is considered the original and worst of the seven deadly sins on almost every list, the most demonic.[39] It is also thought to be the source of the other capital sins. Pride is the opposite of humility.[40][41]

Pride has been labeled the mother of all sins and has been deemed the devil's most essential trait. C. S. Lewis writes in Mere Christianity that pride is the "anti-God" state, the position in which the ego and the self are directly opposed to God: "Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind."[42] Pride is understood to sever the spirit from God, as well as His life-and-grace-giving Presence.[19]

#5 Glad fat people are getting some well deserved respect. Saw some female pop singers on July 4th that would have held their own in a sumo match. I could see one of them tossing salt in the air and catching in a foil bag to season some potato chips.

#6 Re #3. A bit about pride vs humility...

As a moral virtue, humility keeps a person from reaching beyond himself. It is the virtue that restrains our natural desire for personal greatness and instead, leads us to an orderly, justified love for ourselves based on a true appreciation of our position with respect to God and neighbor. Humility is not only opposed to pride, but is also opposed to inordinate self-abjection. In other words, we are to be humble, but not humble in a sense that we fail to recognize God’s gifts and use them according to His will.
