Pride is an ugly, ugly thing when used against someone. Like most people in his church, he would follow his fucking pride right off a cliff if it meant he saved face. These people are psychotic, single-minded, and they don’t see anything wrong with something like this–as long as God is on their side. It’s why countries go to war. It’s why politicians win entire elections. It’s why people kill. Every single thing, whether we realize it or not, is established because of some long-held belief that their beliefs are the right ones.
