Christ was rather stern and harsh with self-righteous folks hostile to authentic, heart-felt religion. He didn't mince words at all--calling them in quite strong language in that culture--vipers and white-washed tombs.

Oh.. my apologies. Suggesting that somebody has a corncob up thir _ss on a FR thread truly was Christlike. I was certainly mistaken.

Didn't Christ also talk about humility?

Your "detractor" wasn't attacking Christianity. He was questioning the appropriateness of your thread here, rather than in the religious forum. You defended the thread as news rather than a religious discussion, which is a fair thing for you to do and is an appropriate debate. Ultimately, the mods get to decide.

However, you proceeded to make indefensible statements out of a belief that somebody was being hostile to religion. Perhaps your hypersensitivity was based on prior experience in this regard? Prior experience would of course mean that you have had these debates often. This of course suggests that you may disguise religion as "news" often. I can't say whether this is intentional or perhaps a subconscious act since your walk with Christ is certainly a major part of your life. The aggressive defensiveness and nasty language you used caused me to question where you are really coming from.

In defending your remarks, you point out that Christ called folks hostile to religion "vipers." This only demonstrates that you take yourself a little too seriously. Certainly, the two don't equate.

With your overbearing self-confidence and your inability to take any criticism under advisement, as evidenced twice on this one thread, you lost me. The guru / prophet to whom you refer is diminished in my eyes as well.
