The ". . .just 10 more (spiritual) pushups" and "I'm further along the
journey than you" approach to spirituality went out and away with
competitive, adversarial, militaristic imagery, telling fibs about project
and fund raising successes and comparing the sizes of intimate body parts.
Imagine saying, "I can meditate longer than you." LMAO

It's a little like competitive yoga. What's the point? You are working with
yourself.  

If you have to say to are - even in subtle ways and especially in sneaky
ways - you are definitely not - probably not even on the same part of the
path - a different place. Not bad or less or weaker - just in a very
different place.
