Lucifer

[Neo-Scholastic]

My general impression is that in the face over overwhelming and nasty criticism GC has been more gracious than most members, including myself.

Yeah, telling people they deserve eternal punishment for not believing the same as you do is so much more gracious than just telling someone to fuck off.  

Then you are missing the central point of Christianity. Everyone deserves the condemnation because universally humanity has been corrupted and individually we have fallen short of holiness. GC merely points out, as I do now, that Christ of has extended His Grace and offers eternal life to anyone who will accept it.

I can understand that many on AF see Christianity as just a culture of do's and don'ts to keep people from living life the way they want to. And in a sense that's true. From our perspective, we are inviting spiritual alcoholics to our AA meetings and they are telling us to fuck off so they can keep drinking from a bottle of lies.
