Apologist claims fundies aren't self righteous.

[rageaholic]

Ooh boy

He gives the standard apologetic answer.  Christians are saved by Jesus so it's impossible for them to be self righteous. He's ignoring the fact that so many of these Christians think that they are better because they're saved and constantly remind people of such fact.  He then says that it's not self righteous to tell people that God condemns certain behaviors as some kind of "warning".  Again, missing the point.  Acting like you know the mind of God and threatening people with an invisible hell is not only self righteous, but extremely douchey.  And of course, he mentions that some act holier than thou, but they aren't trueChristians

He also has another article on judgmental Christians  He defends it because apparently they’re only judging moral behavior.  Which doesn’t make it any less annoying when they’re making everything out to be some moral issue.  Can’t they see why that preachy behavior is annoying?

There was a woman on Rapture Ready who had a similar belief.  She was so set believing that it was literally impossible for atheists to be pleasant and better people than Christians, that when she did meet one, she became extremely confused and had to perform amazing mental gymnastics to continue to validate her beliefs.  The justification she came up with was that, because atheists were already damned, the devil wasn't going out of his way to lead them astray, unlike faithful Christians who are assholes because the devil is fighting hard to steal their souls.  So even when Christians are complete assholes, it's just another sign of how they're better than nonChristians.

Can't remember her name.

To sum up the argument.



"I'm not smug, I'm simply BETTER than you because I have this star on my belly-see?"

[Barbarella]

Smug, annoying & NOT self-aware. I loathe jerks like that.

[Old Viking]

If they're not self-righteous they will certainly do until the real thing comes along.

Kind of like Sheldon Cooper if he were a Christian Apologist.  *shudder*

[Barbarella]

A vast cloud of SMUG envelops the city....

ANYBODY GOT A GAS-MASK?

"I can't be self-righteous because I believe I'm right!"

Irrefutable logic.

People are people, and assholes are assholes, no matter what faith they're from.
