What place is it of yours to comment in the first place? You are free to your own opinions, even if they maybe belittling towards others and incorrect. I want to know what gives you the right to espouse those opinions about me publicly? I have a hunch, but I will keep that to myself.
Did I comment on your *personal* practice of religion? No, I simply put forth the idea that you don't speak for ***everyone*** who calls themselves a Christian, if not for the sake of being exact, than to avoid misleading generalizations.
Save your sorriness, I'm not offended. Why am I not offended? I do have a hunch like, I mentioned previously, it is more of a hunch based on past experience rather than a purely intuitive hunch. Considering this hunch maybe perceived as derisive of you, I will withhold from publicly sharing it. Anyway, Why should I waste my energy being offended if my hunch is correct?
If my hunch is wrong, then your were just incorrect by basically making judgment about my spiritual life while lacking alot of information needed to accurately make one. Calling a diamond a spade while looking at the back of the card. Why should I find your being wrong about me, offensive?
Oh, and I have read the Bible, a few times to be exact. In my opinion, it is a very contrary & inconsistent book with regards to ethical lessons and the guidance it contains for spiritual illumination is veiled by it's sheer volume and heavy interpretive restrictions.
Just my opinion, of course. This is no secret if you recall the 'contradictions in religion' thread a while back. I explored some, but not all, of my thoughts on the bible with regards to these opinions.
You ask why are we even getting into to this, well I have no answer to that. I do know that having said my peace, and of course giving you ammo for a rebuttal, I am now hereby getting out of this.
