You've mentioned that you don't think their practices are core to their faith, but you've yet to justify your dismissal. And until you do, you won't gain any traction.
I'm just trying to help you, bud -- you're obviously in over your head, and unaccustomed to having to actually support your points.

At that rate you're going, I'm going to be drowning in 'em.

lol, the only claim I've made is that Christian sects practice those elements of faith which are important to them -- their core considerations.
Do you really need me to spell out my reasoning? You'd need evidence to regard those core practices as, well, core practices?
If so, I've clearly overestimated your intelligence, if not your haughty pretentiousness. Pardon my chuckling.
Yes, it is condescension.
