Huh?  I don't understand what you are saying.  I wasn't trying
to say the "holier than thou" attitude is a good thing, only that

(i)	sometimes it is used as an undeserved putdown.
(ii)	it does originate in the Bible.
(ii)	Christians *should* live according to a holy standard.
	And do.  Not always, but certainly not never!

I may not be getting at your point?
