Maybe instead of trying to impress everyone with your pseudo-intellect, you should try engaging in discussion and not just lecture down to people. But that would require acknowledging someone as your intellectual peer, something you seemingly cannot do.

He is trying to engage in discussion. I think the problem is that you have a difficult time seeing the difference between valid criticism of the religious right and broad sweeping generalizations about christianity in general. If someone criticizes those who work on behalf of the religious right, they are not necessesarily criticizing christianity in general. You readily criticize pat robertson for his hypocrisy, yet it seems to me that if you heard someone else point to him as an example of the moral bankruptcy of the religious right in general you'd automatically assume that said person was commenting on christianity as a whole. The christian right is a minority group within the body of christianity.
I think the problem roachboy is having is that you refuse to address his criticisms of the religious right, instead choosing to pretend that he is making some brash generalization about christianity in general. Then you play the "woe is me, my faith is under attack" card, which doesn't really apply. This is, however the standard operating procedure of those who own the religious right movement. If you can't see this, than why are you pretending to engage in a discussion when you aren't willing to be honest with yourself about someone else's perspective?
