Yup - most of the other religions maintain atleast a semblance of moral integrity and a promise of justice. Christianity goes further and becomes worse via vicarious sacrifice that isn't actually a sacrifice.

It is your medical opinion that dopamine and wishful thinking, can spawn a successful business, a couple US patents, a successful ministry, over coming a deadly disease, and answers to any God bible related question I or any of you can come up with? All without studying any of it formally?
Nope - it can just make you think that the Holy Spirit did it all.

So I may boast of my ignorance in the light of my many successes. None of which would be possiable without the direct help from the Holy Spirit.
We agree that you do boast of your ignorance - but you are wrong when you say that your successes would be impossible without Holy Spirit. But then, that's your ignorance talking.

Looks like you and Rob agree.
