I used to think that pride wasn't such a bad thing, but now I fully realize why it is such a deadly sin in the Christian religion.
There's healthy pride, and then there's overweening pride, and hubris. And oh, there is SO much hubris in modern humans of all stripes and creeds ....
I’ll be the one to get the hate:
There is no such thing as healthy pride in Christianity, multiple passages in Romans and especially in Proverbs condemn all forms of pride (including the LGBT kind in Romans), and ask that you humble yourself instead of giving into your own conceit.
I’m very prone to this (“I know better than you!!!”) so it’s something I try to work on (poorly, unfortunately).
To a Christian it is an inherently dangerous attitude to deny the providence of God's work in your life. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't move in confidence and assuredness, it only means that you shouldn't credit yourself alone for your successes. Pride is a sin in the lethal sense because it supplants God's greatness with your own, looking at your accomplishments and doing the "I made this" meme when you owe your existence, circumstance, and talents to the One who created you.
It comes off very strange to a non-believer, especially in the West in the modern era, because we grew up with the "You're Special for Just Being You" Mr. Rogers philosophy ratcheted to a billion in public schools and applied to everything. We have a deliberately bred generation of egomaniacs who treat the world and everyone in it as extras in their story instead of trying to get along humbly and peacefully.
So proud you must be to wear a forehead dildo and scream "Suck it, bigot!" while in broad daylight on main-street in your parade of thousands doing the same toward the kids the school bussed out to watch.
I never connected the dots between the self-esteem movement and the deadly sin of pride. That's amazing.
Your post also reminded me of old school athletes constantly throwing it up to God after winning the big game. Lefties loved to mock those athletes because "why would God care about a football game", but that was never the implication. Those athletes were demonstrating humility.
I didn't either until an English teacher in college who was covering Shakespeare's Othello made the point. She interpreted Iago as the poster-child for unfettered praise heaped onto a person through their life. When they reach their peak as adults they are confronted with the tragedy of being mere second-best at something and that is the toxic frame of mind that can fester into the jealous rage that exemplified Iago's character. He conspired to destroy a national hero just because he cast a long shadow.
Enough people tell you you're the greatest, and you believe it, you may even be tempted to kill to make it so.
People will always react poorly to smugness borne from belief (or join in for unearned self gratification). That's not to say that it is always smugness, but it often comes off that way. I can suffer it if it promotes a baseline of actual virtue, though. Much better than the other forms of smugness borne from belief.
I meant the basic kind of pride that keeps you from looking like a total bag of shit in curlers and sweat pants when you go out to run errands, that sort of thing. Because to lack much isn't a good thing, either.
I'm coming around to the idea that a lot of "sins" that are normal aspects of the human condition are labeled that so they don't become pathological.
Make pride a sin and people will only feel pride when it's really warranted, and not for too long. When it's not a sin then apparently there's no limit on what people can feel prideful about.
Yes. They came from observations of screwed up personalities (that often reach leadership positions and exhibit dark triad personality types), or warnings against behavior that made people physically sick. (eating unclean foods)
Our culture is sick and we see the symptoms.
That is why the 7 sins deadly sins are so deadly. In a vaccum, they seem minor. But ultimately, they lead to worse and worse transgressions, possibly denying one salvation.
Faggot pride began because when all of society was supposedly against them it was their way of saying fuck you I'm still here and still a faggot but now faggots are society and everywhere they go they are encouraged. There is no more need for faggot pride.
If they still push it there's no way they can't deny the need for conservative pride, they are facing much worse violence and ostracization than faggots.
If society were even remotely against them in the last 100 years, they would be being stoned in the streets when caught in the act.
They were. It was a better world, at least when it came to faggots
I honestly wonder if gay people who supported gay pride month would want to cancel it now out of pure embarrassment?
Man, I remember when I used to think "why the fuck would you be proud of that?"
I'm still of the belief that homosexuality is a biological thing, but it's an "accident" in biology - meaning it's not something you should be proud of. It is just a part of what you are but you're not fucking special because of it. There is nothing to be proud of, being proud of it is like - if we're using their argument that it is natural, having legs, or having hair on our heads, etc.
Want to stop being treated like freaks? Stop demanding we should coddle you fuckers for being special.
Same here.
It seemed almost not to even belong on the list. I mean go ahead and be proud, why not, whats the big deal?
With time I've understood that pride, at its core, is a sin against wisdom. Which is to accept ones place and ones limits and to accept responsibilty. To acknowledge the infinite complexity of life and the universe, and to know that you don't know.
Pride is a denounciation of humility. A revolt against the butterfly effect and a surrender to hybris.
I've come to see pride as perhaps the worst sin. The others lead to evil almost as a side effect, or in acts and moments of insanity. While pride leads to deliberate evil, for evil's sake. Out of all the sins it's (perhaps surprisingly) pride which is the one that leads to hatred, and sadism. Or so I belive.
This is a leftist/commie meme about how corporations are only cynically supporting progressive movements in order to make more money. This isn't true, there are people within those companies actually pushing for these things despite the fact that they are very unpopular and making less money.
This right here.
No one should buy into the absolute lie that there's "more money to be made catering to a demographic that makes up in total less than 4% of the population." That makes no sense.
According to the CDC, gays and lesbians are only 1.6% of the population, with the rest of the alphabet soup filling out the other 2.4%. In no sane world would you abandon the majority of the consumer demographic to cater to an absolute minuscule minority of degenerates.
And you're absolutely right, if you look at the finances for most of the companies going all in on the Rainbow Reich's degenerate propaganda, they're making far less money now than they did before. Marvel, DC, Hollywood and nearly every big AAA gaming studio focusing on that nonsense are prime examples of that.
Not to go full Impossible1 here, but they are effectively catering to middle-class white women.
That specific demographic has a huge amount of spending power as consumers, and many are ideologically possessed by Leftist protection rackets / syndicates.
It doesn't matter that they don't do anything for the allegedly oppressed group, because none of the middle and upper-middle class white women do anything either. They just want everyone to agree that they are good people.
Technically the money isnt being made off the gays. Its being made off of the gay "allies", mostly white women who fetishize the lifestyle.
Nailed it. As usual Satan goes through the women to attack the man. It’s all about feelings.
Women are always the weakest link. This is not because they are bad people. Quite the opposite, in fact. The caring and empathetic nature of women, while a beautiful thing, can be used to bring them to ruin.
Yeah I love women, I just want them to go back to their true nature and stop pretending to be men.
wheeze. You serious?
After 5 years of successful brainwashing, name one mainstream person willing to condemn this movement. People against the LGBT are the minority now and they won’t speak against it, because we’re in some nightmare “Woke-Scare”.
And I hate to break it to you, but they don’t make corporations lose money. There are too many people who just go along with it, nobody boycotts this stuff anymore. It’s a net gain for the Corpos, because their consumers will hold them up no matter what.
False. Its still massively unpopular, but most people believe that it is overwhelmingly popular and thus refuse to speak out. The brainwashing has not convinced normies to accept degeneracy, it has convinced them to not challenge it.
How many past GG’ers now fully support this ideology and constantly post about it? Even prominent anti-woke members have gone from “This is activism is bad for our society.” to “I’m not -phobic, I just hate political correctness.”
The damage that’s been and is continuing to be done is a lot worse than just people being silent.
Most gamergaters were milqutoast centrists that did not fully connect the dots.
Great, that’s most people nowadays, so nothing’s changed for the better. You need the centrists to create actual change, since they’re the majority. You and I are the minority, like I already said.
You can argue with me all day, but until you feel comfortable going to your boss, company, credit card company, whatever, and not feel afraid to say: “I do not agree with LGBT.” you are still in the “Woke-Scare”.
Every day of silence means more of the new/old generation is being indoctrinated by this ideology.
Ah the benefits of autism and not caring what other people think. I wish vaccines actually caused it. We wouldnt be in this situation.
bring
back
the
closet
2nd this.
We absolutely need some fucking shame. At least somewhere. Shame can be good. It inspires you to actually fucking change.
Next month should be wrath.
i didn't vote for any of this shit
Time to get out the SuperStraight memes.
I pick August for Wrath.
No, February is black month now.
And during it.
And after.
And so on and on and on.
Thank goodness most korean or japanese games ignore this.
Yep. I give japan 10 to 15 years before they reach our level of insanity.
Check out these internal docs from the Capcom hack. KF has them.
Eh, lots of anime does that trap androgynous male/female thing, but usually they're subtle about it. This seems a bit borderline in your face.
My 2nd favorite scripture has become...
"Pride goeth before the fall and a haughty spirit before destruction."
Look I believe in live and let live according to the dictate of conscience, but what the hell is the world kow-towing to 1.1% of the population that is clearly effing mentally ill? Gay people can do what you must, but stop trying to normalize the ??.
You don't ask if I am heterosexual, and I sure as hell don't want to know about your proclivities- unless you are an assertive pedophile. Then I want you incarcerated on a cell block with a lot men of very large hairy men named Bruiser La Rue.
Just because this offends someone cowboy-up. Your life style offends me so frankly, we are even. Call me homophobic but my feeling is just stay out of my face with your screwed up ways. If I saw you 9n the street injured I would bind your wounds, I wood feed you, Pi would love you as Jesus, but I don't have to accept your perverted nature to respect you as a child of God. Itty your fallen state yes, respect you yes, but agree with you. Hell no!
These degenerates have 5 prides a year
Legit thought there was a Pride week earlier in the year wasn't there?
Perfect
Even my bloody learning to guitar software has Pride bullshit in it for this month. I also received an email from a discount book seller with the shit too. so sick of it.
