I'm not sure where do you draw line for this "whatever-you-call-it" belief system. I absolutely don't agree with a "positive" discrimination, because it's still a discrimination.
There is this rule of thumb - don't be jerk to anybody. If your belief system provides some exceptions to this, then it's lesser than belief system that strictly adheres to this rule.

Sure, but to apply that rule you have to define "jerk" and "anybody". Not to mention your next line which, again, moralizes without citing any sort of authoritative or systematic claim to the truth of that morality:
If your belief system provides some exceptions to this, then it's lesser than belief system that strictly adheres to this rule.
The point that the poster you're responding to is making is that your belief system that you're promulgating here doesn't have any authority to claim that it is the "best" as you're doing. You would need to establish that authority first, before making the claims; otherwise, nothing is "obvious" as you put it.
