What about this?:

"As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools" (Proverbs 26:9)

That bit of wisdom is one that I find often eludes many...

How disappointing - no response as to why you call yourself a "Christian" but don't live by it's most familiar commandment.

Again, are you afraid to answer, or just ashamed? Here I'll repeat it for you:

For Christians, it's "Love thy neighbor as thyself," of course.

Oh, so you have peeked in the Book, then, or heard it somewhere :-)

I'd be so interested in hearing your (clever, I'm sure) justification for behaving in exactly the opposite way. Will you define "love" as ridicule? Will you claim that only some people are "your neighbor"? Will you excuse your haughtiness as the way you "love" yourself? Or do you consider yourself "too good" to stoop so low actually living the commandment? Or is it that you don't feel adequate in the role of loving person?

I can't wait to hear your response...
