Can I help it if I have kept all the virtues I got from Christianity that make me so superior to the rest of you?

Oh come on. This is such ridiculously mild trash-talk by the standards of the internet.
By which, I mean that this doesn't qualify as much of a fundie comment.
Probably poe, but this is not far off what many religious folk believe (although they simultaneously try to impress you by engaging in that ridiculous verbal self-flagellation, "Oh, I'm such a filthy sinner! I deserve to be tortured for eternity after death! How very moral I am for making these statements!")
This is clearly part of the attraction of religion for many people: it makes them feel morally superior. But as soon as you start feeling like you are inherently morally superior to others, you by definition consider others to be unequal to you... and so the bigotry and hatred begin.
Luke 14:8-11 (KJV)
8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; 9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. 10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. 11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Looks like you missed at least one virtue.

I'm pretty sure pride is a sin, not a virtue.
In other words, GET AWAY FROM ME YOU FUKKINB SIONNEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 IM SUPERIOR 2 V RESTRB OF U BOW DOWN BEFROE ME 4I AMU YORE KING!!!!!!IMB ETTER THEN E
One of my beliefs is that everyone is fundamentally equal. There may be differences in certain abilities, but when everything is summed up, we all have the same ultimate value. Thus, I have no problem saying that you will never be superior to me.

And even if that weren't the case:

The fact Satan's only killed ten people makes him superior to God. And the fact I've never killed anyone in my life, makes me superior to God. Certainly morally.
Your call, Jack.
Sin of Pride!
No Heaven for you!
This is the type of guy who has one of those bumper stickers that says "Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven."
Are you going to do your superior dance now?
Ya missed one, kid. It's called humility, and you have it's exact opposite, arrogance. If the old legends are anything to go by, you will one day meet those you have kicked aside on your way down to the gutter.
Virtues like pride, gluttony, wrath, greed, sloth, lust, and envy?
Teenage groupies all surround me
Some people call it self-indulgence
And I'm not trying to say I'm perfect
Some people call it self-indulgence
Confused?
