     People often get involved in contests over whose form                
of   self-righteousness   is  the  best  form   of   self-       
righteousness;     whose  arrogance is better  than  other       
people's  forms  of arrogance.    Such contests  undermine                
both  personal  and communal  integrity  ---   rather than                                                                
contribute  to  both personal and communal integrity.   It                                                           
is  impossible to help people  develop right-relationships       
which are  healthy  in integrative  ways ---   by engaging      
in  contests  over  the relative merits of various grounds                
for  self-righteousness and arrogance.       
                                                                                                                               
     People inside religious organizations are often prone                                                                    
to  specialize  in  pointing out why their form  of  self-                                                      
righteousness   and  arrogance are better than the   forms       
of  self-righteousness  and  arrogance of individuals  who       
are   outside   of  their  organizations  ---    or    are                                                                     
questionably inside of their organizations.    The reverse                                                                     
is of course also true.   Such complementary  observations                        
too  rarely are granted  much respect by the people  other                                      
than  those  who articulate and offer the observations.
