Sir, you try too hard to prove your nonexistant superiority.

And you don't understand the nature of superiority. Any judgement of a person (or, indeed, anything at all) is based on personal values and weightings. Each judgement is completely subjective, because there are no universal rules for determining objective superiority. That said, I'm well within my rights to consider myself superior to another person, if my value system supports that belief. In this case (where value is attributed with regard to intelligence etc) it's pretty clear that I am indeed superior to Excalibur. He might be better at Baseball than me, I don't know, but that's not a part of the criteria so we don't even bother considering it.

I don't like people who think so highly of themselves. I don't like those who think that they are better than other people .. that they have the right to judge others.

Haha. Check it out, I'm laughing at your deluded philosophies. These "rights" of which you speak do not exist. They're a human invention. None of us have any rights other than to do whatever we want to do. There is no magical force telling us how to act (there're a few books, but hey, pen + paper = whatever you want to write) so there are no intrinsic restrictions on what we are 'allowed' to do. I can judge him, because I have a brain capable of completing this task. You might not find it socially agreeable, but that's okay. I'm used to it.

"Let he without sin cast the first stone."

Christian or not, you can't deny the validity of that.

Validity? It's just words, a guide to social protocols. Personally I find them foolish; sin is a ridiculous concept birthed from primitive views of the world. A more realistic and logical version would be: "Let he who has a stone decide whether or not he wants to throw it."

When you're perfect, you can go and judge everyone else all you like.

See, that's the thing. I'm not perfect, and yet I'm doing it anyway. Clearly there is a fault in your reasoning if this is possible. And hey, are you saying you never judge people? You seem to be judging me right now. Nobody can go through life without making assessments of those around him.

Until then, I'd recommend keeping your negative thoughts to yourself.

If you ask me a question to which the answer is negative, then I will unashamedly give a negative answer. It's called honesty, yo.
