It reprograms our logical rationale and skews our self-perception. Pride is an unabashed self-seeker. Pride will not stop till we have dethroned God in our own minds and hearts and placed ourselves on His throne. Pride is crafty enough to let us believe that we honor God while in reality we have left Him as only a puppet to approve of our own sovereignty. Pride gives us the license to pursue all other sins.
