Didn't mean to offend all Christians. I was raised a Christian and Baptized at the age of seven. My comment (probably a little crudely put) was based on my frustration of the "Christians" (in quotes because I do not believe they are true to Christian morals) continually lie and deceive on these threads. My intent was to call them on the sincerity of there Christianity instead of insulting Christianity.
OTOH, I do not consider Christianity particulary superior to some other spiritual concepts and I detest Christians that consider their position "more holy" than others.
Depending on which words are emphasized within that last sentence, WT...
If you used that as a pretext for hostility for Christians, your attitude is consistent with Christ's words "you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake" -- yes I saw you were raised a Christian, but I have met athiests who were "raised" Christian and are now openly hostile to Christianity. OTOH if you meant you are opposed to Christians who are spiritually arrogant, instead of humble, you are right in line with St. Paul : Ephesians, "...it is the gift of God, not by works, lest any man should boast" or the writings in the Epistle to the Romans about the Gentiles being grafted in (as opposed to say the Jews) but that the grafting is part of God's plan to draw both Jews and Gentiles to Himself...so Christians shouldn't be "smug".
Cheers!
Full Disclosure: Changing one's mind about posting is not the same as a lie, WT.
Couldn't resist, despite my earlier post of no more till night-time.
(Lunch in my time zone, you see.)
Apology accepted.
I didn't realize when I posted that I'd be piling on. ;)
Good luck.
