What people call themselves is the only valid definition for what religion people are. Anything else falls apart to scrutiny. example: If we use your version for who is and is not a Christian (which is that other people can tell them what religion they are), I'm fairly sure many other Christians (perhaps even a plurality in the US, given demographics) would affirm that you are something other than a Christian because you are stating that pride is not a sin when it has been considered a sin since before the Catholic church even existed. If you grant yourself the ability to judge whether or not a certain person is of a given faith, you open yourself up to the same scrutiny.

nice post count 888, i suggest you never post again to maintain it

As for the topic, imo ~90% of Democrats are full of self-pride, and become enraged if anyone else offends their pride by disagreeing with them or resisting their force to make you comply to their self-righteous self-appointed moral high-ground rules and laws they often create on the fly.

So you're a democrat

Well if I were I'd be about the only one that favors state rights over BIG federal gov control. How else could a sociopathic democrat force their prideful will upon everyone w/o the help of BIG FEDERAL GOVERNMENT of which even puts itself ABOVE THE LAW (e.g. Hillary Clinton the Corrupt).

You see (I know you don't) some people pref not to have our lives dictated on how we ought to live, as long as a thing doesn't intentionally harm others. Limited government (mostly local gov) with lots of liberty, you decide for yourself.

The other side (more like you) believes everyone else is below them, especially the majority, and requires a dictating BIG ass government to bend the ear of and get them to crack down on every little thing you disagree with, across the board. The cost of liberty on the sacrificial alter for some fleeting idea of safety by ultimately a big globalist world government. You will find those chains heavy.

You seem to define what you are by what you believe "the other side" is. Do you have any real identity other than not "the other side" Last I checked most of the fear based pandering to increase security was coming from the right.

I already won this thread... you're just embarrassing yourself now.

I think liberals are much more pro pride than conservatives. Some of this is just a branding reality. Liberals can't say: "be proud to be gay, be proud if you are female, be proud if you are white!." White pride is unfortunately related a lot of ugly ethnic nationalist trends in our country.

In short, we encourage people to be proud to be black or whatever, because its much more likely someone would be ashamed of being black or gay or whatever. We don't need to remind people to be proud of being a white American -- because there really isn't any unjustified shame belonging to that group overall.

This is really a good point about liberal promotion of pride and prohibition on its expression. As I suggested earlier, it seems to me that those things aren't really worth being proud of because you didn't do anything to secure them. You are just born that way. Pride in circumstance just seems odd and I think many people feel the same even though they may not recognize it. I think that is why despite explicit displays of pride, many on the left do not appear to have pride. And that I believe is the source of my observation. There is a certain level of discontent or shame for one reason or another, so when they do not receive the recognition they feel they are due, or they encounter genuine pride in others they take it as arrogance or slight against them or some other nastiness.

First of all, depends what you're proud of.

Second of all, depends what behaviors the pride itself leads to.

Pride can have negative and positive outcomes.
