On a demographic basis, yeah. If she wants to be even more particular, she should be standing next to a Youth Pastor or someone of rank.
The writhing swarm of sex criminals oozing out of the church is a greater argument against it than an army of Dawkins and Hitchens could ever hope to make...
The Bible verse is just "pride goes before a fall, and a haughty man before destruction." Its just a warning about hubris. The idiot is using the word "pride" in the Bible verse to insult pride month/gay people by abusing and misleading people with the Bible, which is a far worse thing to do than anything else here.
The actual aspect of being prideful is seen as a slippery slope to hell. It has nothing to do with this month, but they are forcing it into their narrative. Keep being gay, y'all.
"Pride," the elevation of oneself over God and everything else, is one of their seven deadly sins. It really doesn't apply to Pride Month, bc the way the word is used here is as opposed to Shame. Shame that's been thrust upon the Queer community, and anyone even adjacent to it, by this very same brand of "Christianity." I think these "Christians" could really use a break from that shame mindset themselves.
It's interesting that whoever made this sign zeroed in on the word "Pride" because the "pride" they are protesting is not the "pride" to which the Bible verse is referring. And by interesting, I mean stupid.
The verse is cautioning arrogance. Which is ironic because the sign is basically saying: "I know better than you." Or "im an arrogant prick."
Common in most cultures - ancient Greeks were huge on it. Pride = Bad is the basic moral of the stories of Icarus, Arachne, and the Pierides. Probably some others.
And the irony of every single person trying to wield it as a weapon is in turn guilty of it themselves, always far more than anyone celebrating 'pride month', is of course missed by nobody but them.
Not to take away from your point bc I do think it's valid in the sense that the Christian interpretation of pride is focused on one's moral failing similarly to the ancient Greeks interpretation of hubris is exaggerated pride and arrogance to defy the gods. I'm aware it seems pedantic but my basis for making the distinction is that Greek culture believed and still believe in "philotimo" (love of honor) which is a selfless pride, duty and deep empathy for your family, community, guests etc.
Religious nut jobs trying to equate the pride of sin (eg "we are gods chosen people and no one can tell us we're wrong") with being proud of being LGBT+. Just more mental illness from the very worst of society.
He's referring to "Pride Month", claiming that celebrating Pride Month will lead to your destruction. It is not a direct reference to the sin of pride. It is twisting the original bible quote to a different purpose.
Yeah he's a moron latching onto this bullshit about "pride" bc it's pride month, so in his mind he's got this cool verse that says pride is bad, and therefore BOOM! Daddy says you'll burn in hell for being proud. Lol honestly, this level of stupidity is almost funny.
These people are incredibly ill-informed about their own religion. I'm an atheist, and I constantly find that I know more about the Bible than "Christians" like this.
It's a direct quote from Proverbs 16:18 in the bible. In essence not the worst from the bible, but of course bigots love to twist it into their own hateful agenda.
Yeah. They have 0 media literacy, so they think that the Pride written about in the Bible is about LGBTQIA+ stuff instead of the literal sin of Pride a la our current president.

I'm sure that he's a Trump supporter that doesn't see the irony.

You can do better. Search up their sexual assault cases and print them on a poster board instead

It's a Bible quote being used to justify his belief that Pride shouldn't happen at all.

“Naughty spirit” sounds like something he says to children in school uniforms before trying to force them into a vehicle.

Moreover it actually warns against wrapping yourself in your ego and pride and judging others for the way they live

So............................. the sign is pro pride parade?

If Christians were all focused on actually being Christian, they'd all support pride.

If instead of lgbt pride it was the personal pride that verse is arguing against
