Cut it out. Anyone with religious convictions can step in muck if and
when he/she/it chooses to make religion into a public spectacle, to do
what is seen as proselytizing, and to go one step further than even I
managed, i.e., to accuse--if only by inference--other people of being
hostile to the faith of others.
I do not explore consciences. I don't care about them or about their
faith or lack of same. I have only acts or words written as acts.
Yours reminded me of what I just posted, Jesus' words about public
displays of religiosity. They are as embarrassing as a couple
performing intimate acts in a train station. The words "hypocrite" and
"Pharisee" appear to apply. You can make your own choice about
remaining here. If you listened carefully to the Palm Sunday narrative,
unless you were a lector, _you you you you you_ were part of the crowd
yelling "Crucify him!" Which makes you no more or less a sinner than
anyone else. So stop judging everyone.
