Since @Dogmum just dismissed me as “self-righteous” and unworthy of further discussion on the thread Shouldn’t one’s belief require some level of faith? - General Faith - Christian Forums at Crosswalk, I’m uniquely qualified to respond here! 
As I explained in my last post there, self-righteousness is in the eye of the beholder. I might characterize Dogmum’s responses to me as self-righteous lecturing while she would surely view them as “kindly and helpful advice” from a Real Christian (her) to a Lost Soul (moi!).
The only antidote to self-righteousness is what I described as “the only cure for disunity” in the thread Isn’t this the problem with all Christian forums? - General Faith - Christian Forums at Crosswalk
As do many with her “just believe and don’t think too much” sort of faith, @Dogmum views a more intellectual approach as “self-righteousness.” It’s a defense mechanism: I can’t keep up, so I declare you self-righteousness and leave in a huff.
And so it goes, and always will.
Actual self-righteousness is the antithesis of the above three points:
- I know who is saved and why - it’s people who believe as I do.
- I know I’m right - the Holy Spirit has revealed it to me. I don’t just believe, I KNOW.
- All other religions are false, period. Any Christian theology that significantly differs from mine is wrong, period.
As I described in Isn’t this the problem with all Christian forums? - General Faith - Christian Forums at Crosswalk, self-righteousness is found predominantly, if not uniquely, in what I called the literalist/inerrantist/fundamentalist segment of Christianity - but perhaps it’s self-righteous of me to make this observation? BWAHAHA!
