Fair enough. So it's not a problem for you to believe that the guidance you receive is justified, even if it leads some people (not specifically you, per se) to commit some pretty heinous hate crimes because of the sense of moral superiority that your religion gives them? (Hint: hate crimes, bigotry, suppression of harmless ideals and persuasions/tendencies i.e. homosexuality are all bad when it leads to degradation of humanity). If you feel justified in perpetuating any of those things because of how you feel you are guided, then I and many others like me will definitely find fault. So I guess my next question is do you feel morally superior or just morally correct, or do you feel both?
Sorry, not "fair enough", that is a watered down cop out by GC.
The believer uses this as a doge to avoid accepting there IS a rightful reason they reject those claims. It allows them to avoid putting that same mirror of logic to their own claims.
If GC can live without believing in Allah or Vishnu what makes them think their own god is needed? Why wouldn't they be making the same mistake others make in not considering it is nothing more than "it feels right" and "I want to believe it is true".
