I'll challenge *anyone to come up with a situation where pride is "looked down" upon in this society of so called puritans


I don't know about providing a specific situation, but, for me, pride is like jealousy - the sin is in the degree. If either becomes inordinate, that is a sin. Envy, on t'other hand seems to me to be the mark of mean-spiritdness, and ought to be considered a sin whenever it is manifested.
