Who are you to doubt whether I go to church regularly?
Despite your insinuation, however, my current attendance rate is irrelevant to what I wrote.
I grew up in an Anglican church, and was an acoloyte until I was 14.
I left my family's church at 14 when I became caught up with one of the largest sects of christian fundamentalism. I know first hand the prideful, personal gratification of knowing more scriptural "truth" than lukewarm, once-a-week christians. I thought my shit didn't stink for a good 2 or 3 years. I suspect you can relate and the way you responded indicates you haven't grown out of that immature stage yet.
I'm married to a previous member of the most consertavitve branch of Lutheranism, a pastor's daughter, in fact. She used to be a member of the christian coaltion. I've helped her overcome a heap of psychological damage from being held captive to the passive-hatred christian conservatives pile on themselves and others.
Given our past, we both know a thing or two about being close-minded, religious fanatics.
While I don't adhere to an organized religion anymore, mainly because they are often filled with people like yourself who judge others based on their own prejudices and fears, I support my wife in the things she finds fulfilling. Consequently, despite what you think,
both of us attend a Missouri synod church weekly.
Despite your and many other TFP members' sanctimonious attitudes, conservatives do not have a monopoly on religious affiliation or attendance. You quoted me days after I posted just to insult me. I have no respect for religious hypocrites, which is actually more mild than Messiah thinks on the subject. Consider youself warned--you may feel safe personally insutling someone with differing political views than you...but internet anonymity doesn't hide or protect you from his judgement.
