    These six things does the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

    A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

    An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

    A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren.

    Prov.6:16-19

    Christians & others , It is a "SIN" if one is Prideful ? well lets ask Christians, are they PROUD to be Christians ..

    . which definition of PRIDE ?, because the Bible presents a very SPECIAL definition of Pride , according to Holman biblical dictionary

    Pride is "REBELLION" against God Quote

    " because it attributes to SELF the honor and glory "DUE" to the God .

    Now why would the God Be DUE honor and glory , AH because It OWNS you

    , that is why it is projected as a Creator god .

    . so it creates a mind set that if you are a PRODUCT , you are OBLIGATED

    Kings owned the land and the people

    Slavery CERTAIN People could own other people is that like being a god

    , yes your slaves had to Honor you be obedient .

    Then you OWNED your wife , she must honor you and be obedient

    then children must honor you and be obedient ..

    even if you beat them , because they would not beat you if you did not deserve it .

    .they only beat you if your not obedient .. SUBMIT. that is what ISLAM means .

    and seems to be the same for christianity , but they get a SPECIAL free pass if they do anything negative ,, EVEN PRIDE its Forgiven Excused EXPUNGED as if it never occurred ,

    one need not make amends to people they harm only to the god with praise and glory ..

    Religion is like VEGAS , they like the idea what happens in Religion stays in religion , one gets to hide all their dirty little secrets ,

    ,. that concept of the "CHOSEN" would that not be PRIDE of being SPECIAL .. that the GOD chose these special people in this special dot on the earth , out of millions of others , but they will say as Christians they chose the god .. wait what happened to it created you it owns you

    .. No questions asked no inquiry . no evaluation ,no analysis a mindless flock of sheep . clones cattle do not Think follow submit accept all that is dictated

    one MUST "ASSimilate " RESISTANCE to BORG is FUTILE

    Now God or gods are IDEAS asserted by certain people , and Sin is another Idea dependent on the god idea and the source of the IDEA are people ,

    yet they have not DEMONSTRATED a god , so where is the Independent of human assertion SELF evident god ?

    as I say does a FOX need a Man to dig a Fox a fox hole ? no if a fox exit it does it itself

    Yes, it is; (Isaiah 13:11) . . .And I shall certainly bring home [its own] badness upon the productive land, and their own error upon the wicked themselves. And I shall actually cause the pride of the presumptuous ones to cease, and the haughtiness of the tyrants I shall abase.

    Yes pride is a sin.

    It's okay to be proud when the feeling is appropriate, but if you become consumed with it, that's apparently when it's a sin.

    To figure out if something is moral or immoral or neither, ask "would this action harm and/or help anyone, how much, and in what ways?"

    Having pride isn't inherently bad or good. And it's not an action.

    You betcha! Vanity is in the same ballpark as selfishness, and a group with selfish people in it will not survive for long.
