“According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride… 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.”

“The natural life in each of us is something self-centred, something that wants to be petted and admired, to take advantage of other lives, to exploit the whole universe. And especially it wants to be left to itself: to keep well away from anything better or stronger or higher than it, anything that might make it feel small. It is afraid of the light and air of the spiritual world, just as people who have been brought up to be dirty are afraid of a bath. And in a sense it is quite right. It knows that if the spiritual life gets hold of it, all of its self-centredness and self-will are going to be killed and it is ready to fight tooth and nail to avoid that”

Print these out and show them to yours.

What has that to do with price of tea in china?

You want control, instead of leaving things like God set them up, with each of us to choose freely to come to Jesus.

I can't support that. It sounds like satanic counfounding.

Muslims are famous for that. They have groups for the "Prevention of vice and Promotion of Virtue".

They throw acid on schoolgirls.
