#3 Pride

Pride (superbia), also known as hubris (from Ancient Greek ὕβρις) or futility. It is considered the original and worst of the seven deadly sins on almost every list, the most demonic.[39] It is also thought to be the source of the other capital sins. Pride is the opposite of humility.[40][41]

Pride has been labeled the mother of all sins and has been deemed the devil's most essential trait. C. S. Lewis writes in Mere Christianity that pride is the "anti-God" state, the position in which the ego and the self are directly opposed to God: "Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness and all that, are mere fleabites 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."[42] Pride is understood to sever the spirit from God, as well as His life-and-grace-giving Presence.[19]

#5 Glad fat people are getting some well deserved respect. Saw some female pop singers on July 4th that would have held their own in a sumo match. I could see one of them tossing salt in the air and catching in a foil bag to season some potato chips.

#6 Re #3. A bit about pride vs humility...

As a moral virtue, humility keeps a person from reaching beyond himself. It is the virtue that restrains our natural desire for personal greatness and instead, leads us to an orderly, justified love for ourselves based on a true appreciation of our position with respect to God and neighbor. Humility is not only opposed to pride, but is also opposed to inordinate self-abjection. In other words, we are to be humble, but not humble in a sense that we fail to recognize God’s gifts and use them according to His will.
