[Dr. Eckleburg]

We are not morally superior to the taliban.

All men are fallen; none deserves God's blessings.

But on a graduated scale, we are morally superior to the taliban, abortionists notwithstanding.

Discernment counts.

We are all equal before The Cross.

There are benefits from saying YES! to Almighty God.

One might could say--incremental benefits depending upon one's depth and comprehensiveness of his YES! to God.

Utter surrender as a Love "slave" of The King of Kings and Lord of Lords entails sharing HIS inheritance. Not a bad exchange at all.

Worshipping a demon moon god has no comparison.

I'd probably agree that discernment ACTED on responsibly as led by Holy Spirit can count a lot.

Overcoming by The Blood of The Lamb counts a lot

But Salvation by accepting His Blood is an equality before The Cross thing, IMHO.

Enduring suffering by His grace and Strength; sacrificial servant-heartedness; Loving Him wholly and others as myself--those sorts of things result in bearing a "greater weight of Glory" in eternity as rulers and reigners with Him.

Yeah, marching with our moral compass attuned to His Heart makes a LOT of difference.

I respectfully disagree. As a nation we may be better at hiding our wickedness, but we are guilty of the same sins.
