Well yeah, they do say pride is the root of all the other sins.Plus remember the episode of Supernatural with the 7 deadly sins? Pride seemed to be the strongest.
Just from a purely philosophical non-religion based perspective, you could argue pride is the worst.
Pride makes the biggest ******* atheists, and the biggest ******* religion people. It allows people to justify any immoral action to themselves while preventing them to understand their own flaws and wrongdoing, it is the source of discrimination, it corrupts religion from something that should focus on love and humility into something people use to make themselves feel superior to everyone else, and it's the source of the vast majority of unjustified wars.

Can't these sins be dependent on one another? Like my pride leads to greed and wrath. My greed and sloth lead to envy. My envy, greed, and lust lead to wrath.Can't some of these be just flat out synonymous?
Connection manifests through choice, purpose, power, knowledge, peace, love, communication and happiness.
Disconnection manifests through ignorance, fear, shame, self-loathing, loneliness, arrogance, hatred, and censorship.

Or Trump. One of the things that made Bernie someone I'd be legitimately proud to call my president was his humility.
I know, it's almost as if those dickish corrupt liberals shouldn't of f*cked Berhie over. Some might say he had less of a chance, but he also he wouldn't have been so utterly riddled with scandals and corruption.
Oh liberals and them being their own worst enemies.
