You would never hear it without the intent or motive, though. That's the whole point, it's a concept that has to pertain to everybody because according to the belief everyone is a creation of the deity who hates us for doing the same shit he does. Pride is only a sin when it's not god thinking his shit don't stink.
The worst part is when this is thumped into the heads of children. Because you just KNOW when they're hollering this crap at you, they're doing this to their own kids or worse, someone else's whom they have no right to do that to.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
