It was a false statement about what Christianity must be.
Quote:But you're taking it step too goddamned far if you expect that everyone here should start showing "respect" for the religion itself.
I have not said we should show respect for the religion. That's a separate issue. I have not said that people should be more like me -- as you asserted earlier.
I have been very narrow and clear in my claims.
I want people to say things that are true. I honestly think that we have a duty to speak accurately.
"True" is often subjective and it sounds like you want people to only say things that YOU consider true.
That is an unrealistic expectation and quite frankly sounds like a childish wish. Please take your ball and go home now.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
