I think they tell themselves that they are extremely humble. They constantly say "I'm not worthy", "I'm a sinner", etc., in their prayers. And yet, all you have to do is sit in a church service and listen a while to hear the flip side: "I'm a child of the king" "I'm gonna sit at god's table in heaven" "fountains of blessings" "I, who made the moon and stars now kneel to wash your feet".
They believe they have the creator of billions of galaxies at their personal disposal, who pays close attention to their every thought, and who sends a guardian angel to watch over them until their dying day. THEY will go to heaven with the members of their select group (because, as every christian knows, there are a lot of people who call themselves christian who AREN'T) - and everyone else on the planet will fry forever. And that's ok, because they chose the wrong god.
This is beyond ego.
