I once heard that the difference between being arrogant and confident is. To arrogant you have to put others down in order to build yourself up. Confidence you build yourself up and bring others with you.

Well stated. I've always thought that blasphemy is an unrepentant attitude. What sin can God not forgive? The only one is the sin that is not confessed and repented of. Satan is unrepentant.
