Did you read the article? I don't think so. It looks like you just jumped in with the usual ad-hominem words. I begin to think that there are people out there in FR land who just like to argue and be contentious. It seems that many people's own arrogance blinds them to their petulance. In their self-perceived superiority what they say or believe is surely true, after all their ego tells them.

If you really wanted to be honest with yourself, you'd go back and check some threads where certain posters jump in and make snide and "clever" remarks and then ping each other for approval and then seemingly pat themselves on the back. I really see a pack mentality, with a real frenzy to see who can be the most malicious. The one which really cemented my view of those posters was the very nice article about Beckwith.

What are people afraid of and why do they need to wound people who have different beliefs? As I have pointed out in the past, it is quite obvious that saving souls is not what it is all about because you don't get converts with smug, self-satisfied attacks on other faiths. Undoubtedly, there are differences in religion and people of any faith believe that they have found the right faith, especially here in America where we have religious freedom. Anyway, I'm tired of this, I can serve God better.

I think these type threads targeted at protestants are an effort at proselytizing. They are full of doctrinal error that needs to see the light of day.
