Of course not. 
Do you?

Then why did you use the 'past tense?' Upgraded? This would indicate that you have made the ultimate upgrade and would not need another.

My message simply instructed to not fear or take offense when someone shows you a thought or thinking process different than your own, and not to be reluctant to 'upgrade' if infact that process is better than what you currently use.

Drich, really?

You implied that I might consider "upgrading" from determining what I deem to be moral through my own internal processes, to recognizing the Biblical principles of atonement and redemption .

I then informed you that I was taught to believe in the magical power of redemption, just as you do: In the past, I accepted it as true. Today, I no longer do. I personally consider disengaging myself from the magical thinking that I utilized before, to be a significant improvement; Thus, my usage of the word 'upgrade' in the past tense. 

I'm completely capable of giving serious consideration to adjusting my thinking and approach in regards to such matters when presented with a truly compelling reason to do so. Are you capable of the same?

Or is it safe to assume that it's only right and proper for Drich  to believe that he's made the Ultimate Upgrade?
