The Sneetches on the Beaches and the Snobs in the Pews

Is it me, or are these two groups one in the same?  Here’s a quote:

“But, because they had stars, all the Star-Belly SneetchesWould brag, “We’re the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches.”
With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they’d snort
“We’ll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!”
And whenever they met some, when they were out walking,
They’d hike right on past them, without even talking.
(The Sneetches and Other Stories by Dr. Seuss, Random House,
1961)

Now here’s the other quote:

1 My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. 3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” 4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
(The Holy Bible, James 2:1-4, New International Version)

Gotta love Dr. Seuss!
