"So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen." (Matthew 20: 16). Since we are truly human by our failures, not by our perfections; as it is God who brings out the truth in us (not we by ourselves, or by our own efforts); why do people continue to write clever (so-called) answers on this board (and why do they get points for it)?

I think. In order to be egotistical, you have to think egotistical. I dont think everyone at the top thinks egotistical, or are egotistical. The statement that you question certainly makes humility a virtue.

That's just a vain appeal to gain converts from among the impoverished. There's a reason why religions target those that have hardship in life. They are more prone to empty promises of hope and, therefore, more easily incorporated into the superstition.

I'm neither a fool, nor egotistical. I am self-aware, however, but that's not quite the same thing.
That said, I will continue to accumulate points by espousing my wit and wisdom.

Remarkable perspicacity. You also have perception. Couldn't you tell just by that?
