The differences do seem to be (and to have been) affecting "everyday life" buddy.........I'm not sure how anyone could make that claim with a straight face.
1. I need to assume no such thing.
2. I need to show no such thing
3. They need not have acted in any such manner.
They need only self identify, and they have - without fail.........with pride and zeal...no less. I'd be willing to waive a few of them away as crackpots with you (hell, I'd probably waive you away as a crackpot so that shouldn't be surprising), but my generosity has limits. If christianity's current (or future) deeds were any more honorable or less deplorable than it's past "mis-steps" I'd be handing out more breaks. They aren't, so I'm not.
