Until 2 months ago, I was more of a seeker instead of an atheist, so it was easier to respect Christians. Now I feel an urge to smirk when Christians talk about their beliefs. Smile

Of course smirking isn't good - especially when I am listening to family or friends. Listening and pretending to respect Christians is somewhat deceitful and that isn't any more respectful than smirking.


I was having similar thoughts when I read Drich's post. At first I was confused since he seems to also be a very devoted Christian, but then I realized he must be criticizing other denominations.
I am not criticizing denominations. I am criticizing those who would worship their for. Of worship of the worship of God. I am calling out the pharisees among all denominations (including my own) for what they are. That is why I said religion (ALL Religion) is a double edged sword.

Dirch i am curious what version of Christianity is closer to the truth in your mind?
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
