For some folks, that's exactly the goal.
Pride cometh before a fall and for sixty years the crowd that beats their chests and brags about what fine Christians they are have been falling flat on their faces but still can't figure it out. Christ said to be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves, not to be as cute as a skunk and to spray the stench of personal pride and self-rightousness on everyone you encounter.

Are we into judging religious posters on FR now? For some folks, that's exactly the goal. [Now...would another poster do a comeback reply to me, quote this quote at me, and we could start a chain e-reply that won't ever end 'cause it would just be a series of moral & intellectual judgments made by posters trying to pretend they are NOT making moral & intellectual judgments!]
Sorry, Rashputin, but judging else about someone perceived as judging someone else is still judging someone else! [That's called a "self-refuting" statement; and you have disqualified yourself in such an argument by making it]

Well, that sure came from a lofty moral position. (Be careful; doesn't look like there are railings surrounding that high platform you just took to make such a statement!)
