Ego and strong faith can sometimes look similar, and men who have prospered under strong faith sometimes stumble into ego afterwards (maybe a case in point is how Elijah, after his stunning refutation of the prophets of Baal, cried to the Lord that he was worth nothing after Jezebel sent her catty little death threat).
It’s worth the risk of the two coexisting in a constant battle. That’s better than being so proud of being humble you are a nebbish who believes that nothing is possible. (Hello Jimmy Carter?)

Agreed , and in many cases preside in the same person. Patton had ego and a strong faith. I believe Trump has the same. He just doesn’t flout his faith as some do.
