We don't throw a parade for envy or gluttony. So why do we elevate pride to the level of national celebration, protected speech, and sacred cow? The first sign of spring is said to be the appearance of a robin. That sign is followed by the first sign that June has arrived: a Pride flag, festooned with what seems to be an ever-increasing number of colors and symbols, hoisted up the flagpole, right under (or alongside) Old Glory. For as long as most folks living in a civil society can remember, pride and lust have been counted among the infamous list known as the seven deadly sins. The list varies slightly in order and phrasing, but they are: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride. To my knowledge, only "pride" has a flag designed specifically to celebrate its practice. However, the Pride flag doesn't just encompass pride it glorifies lust too even though you can attach the spirit of pride to any of the other bad behaviors found on the infamous list. Of course, the Ten Commandments outline the evil of all of these sins, warning of the danger of being controlled by them. Pride, along with the other deadly sins, is spiritually dangerous and it often carries psychological and physical consequences too. Flags, of course, are symbolic and used to unite those of similar viewpoint and allegiance. But we are aware that they can also rally people to lethal ends. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Arthur Schaper <Arthur o massresistance. org> Date: Wednesday, June 11, 2025 Subject: CA MassResistance to the Orange County Supervisors: Shut Down LGBT Pride Promotions at Clarvida Wellness Center To: "Donald.Wa ner ocgov.com" <Donald.Wa ner ocgov.com>, "Fourth.
