How do you dare to take the moral high ground?

Sorry Mia. I don't take the high ground. I am in a path of learning, and I have not climbed that high yet.
By the way, you have a beautiful name.

People of which faith? Any at all?
Taking the moral high ground is a matter of circumstance. When you see something that is clearly wrong, and you know you would not stoop to doing something like that, there you are on the high ground.
But anyone who believes that's where they always end up is asking for that ground to turn to quicksand beneath them. And all too often we know that there are many ways to approach a problem, not just black and white. Who can say where the high ground is in a question with many answers?
Take the question of donating to non-profit organizations, for example. This particular one, rather than some other? How much can you afford without compromising your obligations to your family? Do they use the money wisely, to do what you would do personally if you could, or are they top-heavy with high-salaried employees and expenses?
It's not really about what faith, what religion, you have, but whether you see the moral question clearly and decide wisely. You may do so because of what you were taught in Sunday school, or because of what you learned by living your life.

I am only responsible for myself, so if I take the "moral high ground" that doesn't mean others can not "choose" to do so.

I have faith in my Atheism, but I did not take the moral high ground, it was just there. But I am happy to share.

Christian's freely admit they have a need of a savior for their sins. They freely admit they are sinners and continually seek further repentance. However they unashamedly echo the Bible there is a rule for right living which comes from God. The call of the gospel is to "repent and believe." Perhaps this offense you, but we are merely being loving to others by telling the truth.

It is good that people of faith have high moral standards. But they don't have the right to set out this moral standards for others.

We are following our leader....Jesus Christ. We are not better than anyone else, our sins are no less. We are however forgiven of our sins, redeemed by the blood of Jesus , and restored through His grace to fellowship with God and the promise of eternal life with Him.

Not because of my faith, but because of the rest of my character.

it's the least I can do in return for the Savior who died for me...i don't do right so I will be saved...I do it because I am saved...that doesn't mean I'm perfect...it just means that is unsettling to my soul and spirit when do things that aren't pleasing to Him....I can sin all I want...but it won't feel the same as it would if I were lost.
