Those who spend their time believing they are enlightened and the other shameless masses not will be their own judge and jury come the pearly gates.

IMO, I think it is not egotistical for these people to believe that they are enlightened. Being enlightened simply means that one has found the truth of something (according to his way); there's no right or wrong about that. And that, doesn't make his status higher than anyone else.I don't think they are trying to be better than other people, too.

I've seen people who ranted about how the world is becoming more and more evil, and suggested that God remove intelligence and/or freewill from humans, so that there would be no conflict (wars) and the world would be a better place to live. These people should reflect on themselves first before addressing such a statement (and proposing such an absurd idea of asking God to remove intelligence), where the cause of sufferings and pain that they mentioned is questionable
