You either are or are not righteous. Like being pregnant! I know I am
not. People who think they are are in fact self righteous.

I hate those obese people who never go to the doctor dropping dead at
57 and costing the health care system a fortune...as opposed to the
types who are in perfect shape all the time, see a doctor twice a year
and live to be 92...they cost us so little healthcarewise!

I don't agree at all. Our posts against righteousness are guilty of
what we are preaching against. But we aren't doing the evil that
Righteous people such as bin Laden or Fred Phelps. People who do
evil in the name of Righteousness are evil. People who hurt in the
name of God aren't following a loving deity.

If all Righteousness is being self righteous, then the two terms are
the same thing.

I don't see Bin Laden as righteous. He is either a religious nut or a
total megalomaniac. I suspect the latter.

If you are righteous you are righteous; of course that reflects my
background and beliefs on the issue. To me, anyways, if you are not
righteous in any one instant, you are not righteous period...and thus
no one is righteous.

Just my belief on the issue though.

Says the guy who made the comment.

In other words you want to spew ignorant rhetoric unchallenged.
