You're joking, right? To assume oneself to be morally superior, and toIn my opinion, there is no greater sin than hypocracy.
declare that, because you claim moral superiority, that things you say are
wrong for others to do, are ok for you to do is hypocracy, plain and simple.

Its ironic that today's readings in the Catholic Church were about hypocricy (the famous "bean in your eye" passage.)
Still, I am surprised by the cavalier attitude of your statements.
Simple example:
A Gang of 5 hoodlums takes a Metro Bus hostage, with 50 riders on board. They demand $100 million in ransom, and will kill one hostage every hour for the next 48 hours until they are paid.
The local SWAT team storms the Bus, and kills two of the captors.
IMHO, the captor killing an individual is evil, and the member of the SWAT team killing the captor is morally justified.
Thus, your opinions, as stated above, in my mind, are patently false. In fact, those who are morally superior are justified in doing things that others are not justified in doing, and are not hypocritical.
