How Americans Feel About Religious Groups

[kilgram]

So are left wing anarchist loons. Shrug.

Well, in some way... yes.

[The Sage of Main Street]

Hubris (/ˈhjuːbrɪs/, also hybris, from ancient Greek ὕβρις) in religious terms means extreme pride or self-confidence that leads to offense spoken or done towards the God(s), usually harshly punished after. This religious meaning is often transferred to denote overall highly unacceptable, arrogant and insulting behaviour that confronts ethical norms in a way that reminds one of the act described in Ancient Tragedies
Hubris is usually perceived as a characteristic of an individual rather than a group, although the group the offender belongs to may suffer consequences from the wrongful act. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence, accomplishments or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in a position of power.

Hubris comes from hyper, meaning "over(-reaching)," just as English evil comes from over.

Hubris comes from hyper, meaning "over(-reaching)," just as English evil comes from over.

A little less iaginative, a little more accurate on evil:

Word Origin & History

evil

O.E. yfel (Kentish evel) "bad, vicious," from P.Gmc. *ubilaz (cf. O.Saxon ubil, Goth. ubils), from PIE *upelo-, giving the word an original sense of "uppity, overreaching bounds" which slowly worsened. "In OE., as in all the other early Teut. langs., exc. Scandinavian, this word is the most comprehensive
adjectival expression of disapproval, dislike or disparagement" [OED]. Evil was the word the Anglo-Saxons used where we would use bad, cruel, unskillful, defective (adj.), or harm, crime, misfortune, disease. The meaning "extreme moral wickedness" was in O.E., but did not become the main sense until 18c. Related: Evilly. Evil eye (L. oculus malus) was O.E. eage yfel.

Over comes from up, so, as usual, you flatter yourself about some petty distinction and miss the point. Superbus, the Latin for hubris, comes from super, which is parallel with hyper and over.

[The Sage of Main Street]

The New Age cult of secular humanism is not secular, because it believes that Nature is supernatural. It is not humanist, either, because it believes that man is an inferior and vicious animal.

That's not true.

And your point was? Do you even know? Can you articulate it in plain and simple English?
