The saducees and pharisees were sure they were right while Christ upbraided them. I've seen all this stuff before too.
Difference is, when I read Christ's words and he says he spoke in riddles to hide God's plan from the enemy, I can deal with that. I can't deal with stuff that has to be constructed from miles and piles of philosophy and can't be supported in scripture thus needing the miles and piles to try and excuse it. Christianity isn't a philosophy - that sets it apart from other religions. Christianity is a covenant between God and men. And we didn't author the covenant.
You have catholicism, I have Christianity. And these kind of talks let people see the difference. So, thanks :)
