Well, Alex, I note your judgment that the judgements of others are motivated by a need to appear, or a self-perception of being 'holier than thou'.
My judgment is that your judgment of the motivation of their judgment is problematic. Such 'judgements' are, in my judgment, just as likely to indicate a 'shared brotherhood of sinfulness' as they are a 'holier than thou' attitude.
See 'theistic agnostic' Bill Vallicella's interesting discussion of judgement, relativism and dogmatism:
