BenevolentM -> RE: A Guide for Dominant Men: How to Preserve Yourself (3/13/2011 12:42:32 AM)

The New Advent Catholic encyclopedia article on pride should be helpful here.
quote:
Pride is the excessive love of one's own excellence.
See http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12405a.htm
In order to be prideful it must be excessive. In order to be excessive it must serve no purpose. What I've presented here has a purpose. All of you, save one, has failed to acknowledge that my words serve a purpose. Bounty Hunter in post 35 was on point.
quote:
(St. Thomas) understands it to be that frame of mind in which a man, through the love of his own worth, aims to withdraw himself from subjection to Almighty God ...
I do not withdraw myself from the subjection to Almighty God. FukinTroll and Termyn8or in particular tried to snare me by trying to causing me to rebuke God or cause me to take on the appearance of having done so. Others in this thread have also tried to do so in lesser degrees.
That I responded to your post is a sign of humility. That I started this thread is a sign of humility. These and others are points that many of you have conveniently overlooked. As I've pointed out already, this thread isn't about me. Excessive emphasis has been placed on me by you. Your efforts to tear me down serve no purpose; hence, such efforts were prideful. Why is it so difficult for so many of you to see past me and acknowledge the purpose of this thread? The reason is simple. You are lacking in humility. Bounty Hunter was not lacking in humility. He also, interestingly enough, made a prediction in post 35 that all of you were going to misbehave.
You, as in the collective you, assign little importance to dominant male suffering. Many here have argued this point venomously, declaring that such a thing is impossible going so far as to say that if someone claims to be a dominant male and they have known suffering, they are by definition not a dominant male. May I point out the obvious that such a stance is silly.
Many who come here are suffering. That I care about others is unselfish. Termyn8or I believe is terrified that I should get anywhere here. My downfall would accomplish nothing in the grand scheme of things. Offering something useful to dominant males or alleged dominant males to better cope with loneliness, etc., now that might just make this a better world. A sane person would reject the advice given to me in this thread. It was abusive and smug. It was plain and simple bullying.
I wrote earlier, "Me? I've got a dispensation from God. So what's your excuse?" Take these words in and you might grasp something of my meaning. Some of you here feel that they are under no obligation not to refrain from contradiction. I on the other hand have limits to what I can do. I merely claim that those limits were broadened by God. What do I mean by that? The mere fact that I'm here would require a dispensation. Just imagine what the Devil's advocate might have to say about this. It is strongly recommend that the faithful do not come to places such as this.
Am I an ordinary person? No, I am not. I am not going to deny my nature and the truth of what I've told you. What we were promised is a world without evil. Heaven will be a world without evil because God is an uncompromising bastard. This is why the faithful are called to be uncompromising bastards.
