7. ~Pride makes us 'Practical atheists." Perhaps this is why God reserves special wrath for pride. In pride, we discard gratitude to God and assume that we ourselves have accomplished our success. We become our own creators and sustainers of life - becoming guilty of the master sin: self-worship. Who needs God? We can do it ourselves! We've already done it ourself. Is atheism far behind? Is this not what C. S. Lewis calls "practical atheism?" No wonder God urges us to put off pride! Pp100
