Religious Humble Pride

More From Eric Hoffer

The act of self-denial seems to confer on us the right to be harsh and merciless toward others. the impression somehow prevails that the true believer, particularly the religious individual, is a humble person. the truth is that the surrendering and humbling of the self breed pride and arrogance. the true believer is apt to see himself as one of the chosen, the salt of the earth, a prince disguised in meekness, who is destined to inherit this earth and the kingdom of heaven, too. he who is not of his faith is evil; he who will not listen shall perish.
Religious Humility Humble
It's humbling to know that you have fans all over america and all over the world and they want you to play on their respective basketball team. it's very humbling that they respect the way i play the game of basketball. i can't discredit that. i can't say i don't enjoy it because you put in a lot of hard work to have fans. and for me to be a role model and for me to have fans all over is great. it's very humbling.

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.
Mean Atheism Way
A truly christian love, either to god or men, is a humble broken-hearted love. the desires of the saints, however earnest, are humble desires. their hope is a humble hope; and their joy, even when it is unspeakable and full of glory, is a humble broken-hearted joy, and leaves the christian more poor in spirit, and more like a little child, and more disposed to a universal lowliness of behaviour.
Christian Children Humble
There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.
Leadership Self Esteem Pride
Better risk loss of truth than chance of error--that is your faith-vetoer's exact position. he is actively playing his stake as much as the believer is; he is backing the field against the religious hypothesis, just as the believer is backing the religious hypothesis against the field.
