No it isn't, it's nonsense.
What you're basically doing there is elevating yourself to the moral high ground (which is imagined) over Ryan by appealing to the lowest common denominator; that you're right and everything that conflicts with you is necessarily wrong. This, based on nothing but emotive reasoning and a level of indoctrination that can only be guessed.
Speaking on behalf (but not for, an important distinction) of everyone who has both sought to and managed to disassociate themselves from the religion that they were taught to follow, just, fuck you man. It's views such as the one that you propagate in your post above that leads to be people being branded apostates and ostracized, maybe even killed, for not believing in the same deity as their peers around them.
Not often do I swear at posters, but here I think it's totally warranted.
Where did I say I was on higher moral ground, you sure assume a lot from one short statement. As far as I'm right and Ryantology is wrong, God will decide which is correct. If you can't speak for them then why speak at all. My view is what I know and if he had believed as I do he would have never rejected Christ, it would have been impossible.
That is a pathetic excuse for cursing at someone.

That's because your hat is squeezing on your head so hard it's squeezed the sense out of you.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
