Where Dave and Robert attempt to entertain while educating you about different cultural virtues. Warning: Some profanity, and plenty of 1990's levels of political incorrectness.
BTW, the distinction between vainglory and hubris is that vainglory is the desire for other people to think highly of you, and hubris is thinking highly of yourself.
It seems like you fixated too much on what the names of the virtues mean in contemporary English, which isn't always quite the same thing they meant when they were formulated.
We had to use common parlance because this is the first of six (plus a bonus episode), and if we had gone into that level of detail it probably would have been eighteen episodes (or more), and would have lost a lot of broader appeal (and also taken up much more time).
Agree that a big problem with language is it's always changing, and some who have ill will will do this intentionally, but we have to work with what we have. My understanding is the "Acadamie(?sp?)" tried to fix this by only using Latin, but now we're off into the realm of proper scholarship, heheh.
Thanks for informing about the Greek virtues being added to with Christian virtues.
Re Faith ... I understand Stand it to mean an underlying assumption (maybe from experience) that things just work out OK...in their own way. Not requiring a belief or faith in a God.

That's an important distinction, thanks.
Easy to miss IMO because they probably almost always come together.
BTW, the list of deadly sins was edited by Pope Gregory I, who removed despair and also vainglory and added envy.
The reason for the reduction was basically a numerological desire to have seven sins.
