in response to petey3eb.... the very essence of christianity lies on the basis to first admit we are sinners and therefore have to be ssaved by God. So you generalizing Christians like that doesn't even make sense. ... however, i do agree that there are people out there who do honestly believe they are completely righteous/better than the rest of everyone else. there may be people who even happen to be christians who think they are better than everyone else...they're apparently wrong and need to be corrected...but jsut so you know...don't make that generalization. its like saying all black people are criminals. as for the meaning of the song, i agree with you. there are many people who do seem to have that attitude about themselves. put themselves on a pedestal and believe they are better than the rest. this also goes both ways tho....what if someone WAS better than you? would you be willing to admit it? or would you be too self righteous?
