Re: Dignity
[ QUOTE ]
It is my understanding that Christians have a rather low regard for self and for humanity compared to people with other ideologies.

And how could you possibly think that? The teachings of christianity are all about that we are the children of God. This confers an inestimable dignity on each person, and thus also on the whole human race. And you seem either unable or unwilling to note the difference between one having a proper sense of self-worth, and that not meaning that one's self-worth is somehow diminished by also understanding one's limititations and shortcomings and not acting pridefully in relations with others or before God, who created us, and thus to whom we should show the same respect and deference and obedience as a human child to its father.
