Disturbed that people defend those actions. Disturbed that I used to buy into Christianity in my own youth, too.That 'disturbance' you spoke of comes from something not lining up with your sense of right and wrong. Now because your sense of right and wrong or 'righteousness' is different/seperate from the Righteousness of God it is identified as a personal or Self Righteousness.
This feeling of self righteousness is what i warned you of.
I'm disturbed because you defend things you yourself would never do. You admit you find them morally wrong to do them yourself, correct? So your own sense of right and wrong also doesn't line up with Gods.
Also, since there is no God, your entire argument kind of reads like infantile gibberish to me. My 5-1/2 year old makes similar arguments for why the ghosts she sees in her room are real.
Lastly, thanks for proving my point about who's actually self righteous by not even taking the time to read the very short link I provided on what I actually believe, and instead putting words in my mouth. You make my point very well! But it's ok, I know it's just the way you are, you can't help it.
