"I normally don't get involved in the threads that attract the holier-than-thou types.......but I obviously got caught up in this one."

Actually, I do. I want them to consider that others are more tolerant, compassionate, and understanding about the "faults" of others. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. There is simply no reason to insult or condemn people you don't even know, just because your view is not theirs. Whose right is it to be judge, jury, and executioner....not theirs, but God. Something I might add that they fail to remember!

You summed up my attitude quite nicely, thank you.

I've dealt with these types before on issues having NOTHING to do with religion and have been accused of being a bible thumping holier-than-thou type (not on FR) in the same sentence that I am being called a hypocrite.

The way I look at it(right or wrong), is that those who need to brag about their 'religiousity or Christianity' and berate others for a perceived lack of, have serious doubts regarding their own faith. I don't particularly care what others think of my "Christianity" or lack, that is between God and me, just as theirs is.

I do wish (and pray) a few of them would remember the virtue of humility and confine their claims of being better than others to the thoughts left in their mind and not pushed through their keyboards. But, alas, those who need to remember that most are those that will fail to see themselves in our comments.
