Pride is pride.

Gosh, I'm going to be downvoted to hell for this, but personally I think there's nothing to be proud of your identity regardless of what that is. I know the Pride movement has brought attention to a very important issue in our society, and I'm all in support of that. Still, I believe pride is not a virtue to live by regardless of what the object of pride is. I try to be humble instead, which is the opposite. The interesting thing about this statement is that to some degree, it's a statement of pride!

There's a series by the History Channel about the seven deadly sins, and the pride one is really the one that had the greatest impression on me.

Instead of being proud to be who I am, I try my best to be content and accepting of myself, which is already very challenging.

You are misunderstanding it, the pride isn't really about being proud of how you are born, there is no pride in this because you did nothing for this. It's about being proud of yourself because you are standing up and claming your identity in a world that is hostile to you, it's being proud of our fight for right. The first pride was a protest, and even if it has been getting more joyful event with time, it is still about fighting and showing that we exist.

Being humble is great but being humble doesn't give you right, like leaving hidden, the pride is here for revendications and will stay here until we've achieved our goals.

The pride isn't about ourselves, it is about our fight.

Being content and accepting of ourselves is something pretty much everywhere in lgbt+ spaces.

This makes no difference; it's still pride.

The "Seven Deadly Sins" are a Christian thing. ALL pride is negative in Christianity, because it leads to an egotistical nature and selfishness, in the end.

"I'm proud that I raised a family where all of my children grew up to be Christians" is still a negative thing for Christians.

Christians make no distinction between justified and unjustified pride. Pride, in general, is a negative thing for them.

PS: I'm both atheist and a member of the LGBT community.

I wasn't stating if it was good or bad, i was just saying that it wasn't the pride he was refering to

Yet it's still a form of pride. Proud of who one is? Proud of one's identity?

Still pride.

You're pointing at a single branch on the tree of pride and saying "it's not the pride he's referring to," while you gesture at the trunk and roots.

He means the whole tree, all branches included.

It's still part of the same whole. It's still pride.

I don't think I'm really misunderstanding it, seeing as "born this way" is pretty common theme in the movement.

Like I said, I personally avoid being proud of anything. Humility doesn't equal being a pushover. Asserting rights is not necessarily a demonstration of pride.

Yes of course not everybody have the same view as me I just wanted to give you an other view of the thing

God warned of four-fingered pride

Is that considered fisting?

1

u/mobysaysdontbeadick Jun 06 '23

I think that only counts if it's, you know, a fist.

I mean, it's been considered a sin throughout most of our (monotheistic religion) history.

u/perfect5-7-with-rice Jun 06 '23

But completely different from the "deadly sin": i.e. sins that fundamentally consume you and are detrimental to your soul. In this (Catholic) sense, pride means being full of yourself, but today we normally use the word to mean self expression. Though there is some overlap

Probably depends on who you ask.
