We live in a world full of competition and the desire to be independent, especially the western world. Competition in and of itself is a manifestation of independence, wanting to get what one wants in one's own way as opposed to following the ways of God, which is in and of itself a sin.
Those who are full of the spirit of independence love competition. Competition is not something that they feel pushed into doing, or feel forced into being competitive out of anxiety or a fear of that will be bullied, neglected, oppressed or looked down upon. Those who compete with others feel anxiety or fear of bullied, oppressed or looked down upon. This is all a manifestation of their pride. That is exactly what it is. Such anxiety and fear is an ungodly on that is a product of sin and sin alone.
Beware of those who feel inferior, or who complain about a lack of equal treatment or unfairness because they cannot achieve their earthly goals, or cannot be as good as others, in the earthly sense of course. Such vile wicked people are a snare to those who seek to do nothing out of strife, selfish ambition or vain glory.

Independence does not equals competition and competition does not equal selfishnes.
Let your little god-maw fear ones like me, for we carry the pride in ourselves and in our kind always to be used as our greatest asset combined with empathy and selflesnes, not a weakness as you would have it, treacherous monkey. It is self explanatory why would your master hate others pride, for he himsefl is the ultimate prideful tyrant.
The ways of God is a sin, in and of itself? Huh?
I like independence. I don't like competition.
You seem to contradict yourself twice over. Please use a more straight language and refrain from using "important" words that you can't handle anyway.
It's thanks to people who got together to complain about lack of equal treatment or unfairness that we have earthly goals such as(in general) an eight-hour-day, a five-day-week, five-week vacation, paid parental leave, and living wages.
Lacking a clear thesis statement? Check.
Inability to consistently generate coherent sentences? Check.
This is your brain on religion. Any questions?
Re. Anti Mammon: A wise Atheist or Pagan once said, "Only a beggar would extol charity as a virtue."

Anyone know the attribution for that?

Translation: I'm better than you are...
You know...I would almost agree with these peoples' point about competition and the need some people have to amass as much wealth as they possibly can at the expense of everything else.
Oh, wait. That's not what they're talking about at all, is it? Because I know full-well that this comment is directed primarily against the poor and those of us living hand-to-mouth, and against those who are marginalized by their circumstances and are struggling to survive and make ends meet. They spare virtually no thought to the tiny, minuscule fraction of the population who controls most of the global wealth, because it's far easier and more satisfying to punch down. Wealth redistribution is just dandy, but only so long as it's being redistributed upwards. The second someone suggest moving some of it back down, they dig their heels in and howl.

I am consistently amazed at how so many of those who claim not to believe in evolution or natural selection nevertheless feel compelled to enthusiastically support so-called Social Darwinism.
Just because the US came sixth behind Great Britain in the 2012 London Paralympics, I guess you're getting your butthurt whines & gripes in first, prior to the end of the 2016 Rio Paralympics: and the opening ceremony hasn't even started until later tonight. [/Andy Schaftafly]
Remember who came second * in the medal table between China & USA in the previous Rio Olym pics...!
There are those with disabilities. And there are the [I]Super[/I]humans.
Guess which ones you are, Aunty Mammoth, and Used & Conquered.
*- Third behind Russia in 2012 London Para. And as the IPC have banned Russia from 2016 Rio Para, therefore...!

You are, in and of yourself, an asshole.
Competition is not something that they feel pushed into doing, or feel forced into being competitive out of anxiety or a fear of that will be bullied, neglected, oppressed or looked down upon. Those who compete with others feel anxiety or fear of bullied, oppressed or looked down upon.
You just blatantly contradicted yourself, you imbecile. Make up your mind; which is it?
Beware of those who feel inferior, or who complain about a lack of equal treatment or unfairness because they cannot achieve their earthly goals... Such vile wicked people...
No, the vile, wicked people are cunts like you who look upon the poor and/or those unfairly discriminated against with hatred for no other reason than because they're not as fortunate as you. I hope you end up homeless one day.

I LOOK DOWN UPON THE WEAK. I LOOK DOWN UPON MYSELF. BUT NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD TO BE A BASEMENT DWELLING LUNATIC LIKE YOU FOR A LIFELONG JOB. DON'T TELL ME YOU DON'T PLAN TO OUTLIVE YOUR PARENTS? WAIT, FINE, IT'S OKAY IF IT'S YOU LIVING CORPSE.
Confused?
