How often do we incriminate ourselves by being too outspoken, whereby criticizing where we have no right to do so....?
Do we have a God complex....as we feel we know what is right and wrong, better than the person we’re criticizing....? Actually better than all the people on Earth....
I think we do it all too often. Some people think they know more/better than everyone else. Often people are overly critical, and they would do well to take a look in the mirror prior to launching critical attacks on others.
Actually, many of us are guilty of this, to a degree.
I don't know much about a God complex, though … there are the bible thumpers; I have some in my family.
I suppose the point is, there will always be those who believe they are smarter and better than others. Some are just more vocal about it, while others sit silently looking down on people and making whatever judgments within their own minds.

Human nature … takes all kinds to make it up.
When u get know-all's they think they know better than anyone else, they bad mouth everyone and everything, that is not according to their beliefs.....they don't allow for people having other ways of thinking and believing than them....that's a God complex....

RedHeadedTaurus: Gotcha …
Although, I know people like that who don't even believe in God.
I get what you're saying though, it's a "term" … God Complex.
Lol I almost wrote "Good" complex
It has nothing to do with ur beliefs..... If u think of a God....as all powerfull and everyone bows to them....these people generally think they'r God....u must have come across quite a few....and laughed at them....or just shake ur head at such foolishness.....
ChesneyChrist: Nobody is above reproach even saints. Mother Theresa was a good lady or you might say that she neglected the people in her care delivering a poor standard of care across the board that actually made people more ill, and she neglected all those people because she's more interested in becoming a saint. She had a vested interested in sickness as opposed to making people.
It's just an example but the point is that nobody has the right not to be criticised - not even a saint.

RedHeadedTaurus: Indeed, I've come across more than I'd care to mention. I have laughed, shaken my head, or just simply ignore them. What else can you do?
We can wish for a new world, with people we approve of....except r we then not doing the same thing....?
Yes all types make up this world....and some u try ur damndest to steer clear of.....
