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 5y 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.
