Vain, or Humble?

Do you think that the religious people who claim to speak to god, or have a relationship with god are Vain, or Humble?


Since we, as Atheists, and basically any other religious person, believe anyone claiming to "talk to god" or if you're religious, anyone claiming to talk to the god that is not yours;

we believe these people are basically just talking to a voice in their head, and nothing else.


Therefore, is it vain for them to praise god? Since they are technically praising themselves?

Or is it Humble, because they are showing a low estimate of their own self importance, and are praising what they think is someone besides themselves that is important enough to be worth praising?

Arrogant I think. They have an air of unjustified superiority about them and it seems that the more extreme the stupidity of the thing they believe the more arrogant they get. And the more arrogant they get the more likely they are to inflict their views on others by any means they can.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
