“Self-righteousness is the inevitable fruit of simple moral judgments.”

“More than half described Christians as literalistic, anti-intellectual, judgmental, self-righteous, and bigoted.”

“Perhaps you confuse virtue and convention, gentlemen. Conventionality is not morality, and self-righteousness is not religion.”

“...Emma Morley wasn't such a paragon either: pretentious, petulant, lazy, speechifying, judgmental. Self-pitying, self righteous, self-important, all the selfs except self-confident, the quality that she had always needed the most.”

“Human attempts to construct moral order are always precarious: If righteousness too often leads to self-righteousness, the demand for justice can lead to one guillotine or another.”

“The world needs to see Christians burning, not with self-righteous fury at the sliding morals in our country, but with passion for God.”
