Mark claimed to be a religious man, so he surely knew that pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
When someone starts telling me how religious they are, I immediately place one hand over my wallet and the other hand over my ass - because I know they are going to try and empty the one while shoving it up the other.
Hindsight has taught me this lesson in business: the more quickly someone professes their Christianity, the faster I should have run away from them. The times I have been screwed over, it was done by people claiming to be Christians.
Truth. Actions speak louder than words. If you have to tell me what a good Christian you are, your a lying POS.
