That is always possible but also often far from certain.

  Do keep up your self-righteous attitude. It will benefit you greatly in 5-10 years and we need more like you.

    Why, is something specific scheduled to happen in 5-10 years? Also, I'm not sure why I should consider myself "acting in accord with divine or moral law". I've never done even that, much less have I been "convinced of [my] own righteousness especially in contrast with the actions and beliefs of others". That would seem utterly pointless.

      Responds to accusations of self-righteousness via a self-righteous pedantic critique. Too bad you can’t use the clown emoji on HN ;)

        > self-righteous Again, I'm not even striving to be "acting in accord with divine or moral law". So, no.

          Wouldn’t self-righteous for an atheist be more like ‘acting in accordance with my personal moral law’? Or maybe more acting like your own personal morals are superior to everyone elses.
          • jhgb 6y ago
            Maybe, but "my personal moral law" doesn't even come into play here, so I don't see how it could be possibly relevant. The topic is not a morality question so it's a category error.

              Perhaps “arrogance” was a better word for the OP to let you to chew on? Can you vet that definition for us too?
              • jhgb 5y ago
                Perhaps it was. At the very least it wouldn't have been a blatant category error in the first place.
