Superiority - Why?
68 Answers
I am puzzled why some ABers make such strenuous efforts to assert their superiority in areas such as knowledge, morals, and jus about everything else they see a crack in the wall.
It often turns into uncomfortable posts, and becomes personal.
That's sad in my opinion.
So, my question is, "Should ABers be aware of their proclivity to be superior and make efforts to avoid it?"

My answer to the OP, Yes. I find a lot of answers come across as pompous

I think you yourself make quite "strenuous efforts" to assert your superior knowledge of Biblical prophecy, Theland, and to convince the rest of us that we should accept and take heed to your version of the Christian faith.
I think people should argue honestly even if at the same time they're trying to prove their superiority in whatever.
But in practice, Theland, we're all children of Adam and who knows the human heart? All our motives are mixed. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?".
I do hope you recognise the quotation.
Goodnight, Theland.

I know what you mean, I know that some on here tend to take the high ground and do not budge, sometimes they seem intolerant of human failings and are so stuck in a black is black white is white existence they can't see all the colour and complexity in between. There are some who seem to think if you don't think as they do you are somehow diminished. Of course there are some issues on which there can be no human option but to universally condemn but the condemnation should in my mind be directed at the person committing the act. Not the culture or social group.
