*strokes beard of wisdom*
No, I have nothing to really be proud of (apart from my beard of wisdom) and I am not 'religious'. I am humbled by Jesus, that His sacrifice should be for me - a man who has done nothing but rebel, say sorry and rebel again in what seems to be an endless cycle of perpetual failure. 'Religion' cannot save me or anyone; only Jesus in His infinite love and mercy can.
Actually, now that I think about it, I am proud to call Jesus my King and humbled that I am able to.

Well put. The highway to Hell is paved with good intentions. Also, sadly, Hell is full of "good" people. If people only knew how simple it was to gain access to the kingdom. And about the rebel inside, we are going to rebel/sin. It is our nature. Why, well that is a totally different discussion. But as long as we feel remorse when we sin, we are doing OK. It is when our conscious becomes seared, is when we are doomed to live like the beast of the field. Just like a dog on the corner, only carrying for himself. It is great to be humble before the King of Kings, but we must remember not to humble ourselves to this world. Jesus did say to turn the other cheek, but he also commanded us to be bold and tell the world of him. One person at a time. Or hundreds if you have that ability.
