[QUOTE="JGG, post: 68196894, member: 142591"] I think these two sections (emphasis mine) demonstrate my thesis very well. While it is fairly obvious you have not only told us that the "average genuine Christian" is in practice morally superior to atheists (never mind "nominal Christians"), it is against the rules to think this. Cognitive dissonance sets in. "Christians are superior because [...x...], but we're not really superior." That's where the superior moral grounding comes in, it eases the stress. You still get to feel superior, but can claim that you're not. [/QUOTE]
