"But then I've always been one to practice my religion in the quiet of my home or the solitude my church, instead of making a public spectacle just so I can feel good about myself."
Sounds like you are ashamed of your religion - hmmm I guess Jesus should have been quiet just like you huh? Quiet Christians should really search to see if they are Christian at all - the fruits of faith dont sit quietly when innocent children are murdered or do they?
You know very about me so please leave your misconceptions elsewhere.
