‘Pride’ is Nothing to Celebrate
American Greatness ^ | 2 Jun, 2023 | Trevor Thomas

Posted on 06/02/2023 4:11:05 AM PDT by MtnClimber

In his seminal work Mere Christianity, the great Christian apologist C.S. Lewis describes “pride” as “the Great Sin,” “the essential vice,” “the utmost evil.” Lewis concludes,

Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea bites 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.

Thus, I suppose it is rather fitting that the “official” celebration of the evil LGBT agenda is called “Pride Month.” Few things today more encompass the wretched display of pride than what is exhibited when those under the throes of the LGBT agenda are unashamedly and boldly “out of the closet.”

Why was it -- as this is typically no longer the case -- that those with homosexual attractions had to come “out of the closet?” It was because to act on those attractions was often illegal, and -- or at least -- typically frowned upon by society at large. Why was homosexual behavior so stigmatized? Because it was once largely (and rightly) viewed as “unnatural” and immoral.

It is important to note that things are not -- or should not be -- immoral because they are illegal, they are -- or should be -- illegal because they are immoral. And this is not to say that all immoral things should be illegal. The biggest achievement of the LGBT agenda has not been the reversal of U.S. laws that deemed homosexual behavior illegal, but rather a sea-change in the views on homosexuality in the American culture at large.

As was the case with all the rotten and perverse fruit of the “sexual revolution,” this was largely accomplished by appealing to the pride of those who wanted to go their own way in the sexual realm.

And they get a whole month to be proud of their deviancy.

I don't actually think the gay community is defining "pride" in the Biblical way.

They are trying (their damnedest) to say "We are not ashamed of being queer."

That said, the very fact that they have to keep saying they are not ashamed is a testament to their shame.

We can all give a word of thanks to the media for promoting this lifestyle (or death style). They have been instrumental in pushing woke agendas to the detriment to this once great nation. Now, as corrupt politicians eat away at the substance of our wealth and give away freebies to the non-workers, the end seems inevitable. We are following the blueprint of the fall of the Roman Empire to a tee.

Neither is June Umpteenth. It’s a good thing they put both of them in the same month. The freak can come out and pahtay in the heat.

“PROUD” to be a freak of nature?

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18 Pride Marches - Marching right off of a cliff, in goose steps.

Booger eaters are probably less disgusting but you don’t see them proclaiming any pride over what they do or getting their own month to celebrate it.

Exactly!!! It’s like, “the lady doth protest too much.”

I don’t think you should be denied a job or fired SIMPLY because you are gay. If you comport yourself like any other person, no one knows until you tell them. If you get along with others, no one cares.

But when you demand MY adoration, MY affirmation, and for me to suspend reality, we are no longer on a two way street.

If they view June as the month to celebrate their "Pride", what months do they celebrate -

Envy
Gluttony
Greed
Lust
Sloth
and Wrath?

If one is gay, that, alone is sufficient reason for not hiring that person. One who is a homosexual or lesbian has a depraved mind, and, as such, has announced to anyone paying attention, that they are not to be trusted to make rational decisions in line with the Word of God.

It's very apt that the sexual deviants chose "pride" as their catch-word.



"How great is the evil of pride, that it rightly has no angel, nor other virtues opposed to it, but God Himself as its adversary." ~Saint John Cassian

The month of June belongs to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
