ok, you're right. You obviously have a lock on the truth.

It's statements like that make me wonder if SJP isn't right in his course of action sometimes...;-)There ya go, and you didn't have to be a mind reader.
When being judgmental about others beliefs, one REALLY needs to look deep and hard at their own first. If that was done, there would be far fewer "bash the <insert religion here>" threads.
To what end Gh? So you and I can go down a road well traveled to the same out come?
You want to talk about judgmental, with someone, whose people suffered greatly at the hands of the Church you defend steadfastly? I may have gotten over my blood lust for the Church GH, but the scars are still there. Picking at them isn't going to be healthy for anyone.
"Your" people eh Bear..... do you remember where me and my family are from Bear? North Bay? Know the difference between you and I when it comes to "your" people? I don't have that neat little card in my pocket since my mother/grandmother/great grandmother told the government and their "people" to stick it all up their collective asses because of they way they were treated. My mother, even to this day and she is 72 years old, refuses to acknowledge that she is First Nations as did her Mother to her death and her Mother before her.
When I was in high school and taking Canadian history (confederation to present) my Dad wondered why I fought for the rights of French Canadians so vehemently yet ignored my native half. The answer was simple, my maternal relatives attitude towards their own people. The stories I heard of ostracism, and we're not talking being ostracized by "whitey".
I only have a lock on my own truth. I don't believe in universal truths or religions. Organized religions tend to be exclusive. I don't have a problem with other people's beliefs. I do have a problem with people who say their belief is the only true one and condemn all other to hell if they don't think the same. That is when I make silly remarks and play the devil's advocate. If you want to take exception to remarks I make to such people, then I would have to say that is your problem.
It was Solomon - David's son by BatSheva (widow of Uriah the Hittite (21st Century soaps should be so 'soapish')- who was wise - but maybe not so much, as he was also the one that had all the wives and concubines.
All religion as practised is ethnocentric - Judaism, Islam, the Nordic Gods, Mormonism... Can't think of a people that do not consider themselves "chosen" by their God(s). That aspect of each proves the contrary!
