That's a nice strawman you're attacking right there. I never said that religious people should live the way I say they should.
People can believe whatever they want. No, my contention is this whole damning someone for choosing to be responsible and for choosing what they consider best for themselves and hiding behind a deity. Something many religious people seem to be very adept at doing, telling others how they should live.
Now that, that is indeed hypocritical and, well, it stinks of self-righteousness.
As you were saying that religions should or shouldn't do something, I interpreted that as you wishing to dictate how religion should work. if you claim you were dojng something different, ai won't argue with you.
Sure, but it's quite alright to start calling me a hypocrite for something I clearly didn't do.
My overall point is that congregations have been effective at mantaining folowers so far. I don't have that many statistics on congregations now and I'm too lazy to look them up, so I'll only give you my view on past trends.
anyways, it's about 2 PM in my timezone. you can respond to my post if you want the last word, but I won't bother reading responses.
You won't be reading responses. That means I won't bother with you. There's no point.
