    Anyway, your last two paragraphs tell us that you don’t care one whit about Christianity, or God for that matter, so your supposedly laid-back reactions to the thread are rather meaningless. As is your opinion of why Jake wrote it in the first place.
    No you make assumptions. I do not myself think Jake does not care, just the exact opposite and the fact you might disagree with his views does not mean he does not care only that you disagree with his opinions. Same goes with my opinions stated in response. Caring does not only exist if someone agrees with your views. That is illogical.

    Next being "laid back" does not mean I do not care, again you make assumptions based on projecting lack of care as the intent behind me and others who disagree with your take on this topic. No not at all. I cared otherwise I would not have responded.

    Next and with due respect, you know people who try calm down others often repeat the same thing to sooth them so the repetition is not what necessarily makes the repeater uptight, its the tone its presented in. So I would suggest for example had I used exclamation marks and accusatory words in responses to you, you might be more accurate about my being uptight let alone laid back and uptight at the same time as you suggest.

    I can assure you in my case I only meant to sound non alarming and gentle and if I intended to be uptight would have called you a sanctimonious asshole or something in that line of reference.

    Thank you.

    Anyone assuming you are Christian kind of takes your statements out of context. Wouldn't you agree?

    Mika-El, yes, your opinion counts on Jesus, and, yes, some Christians will have problems with your opinion.

    So what if others think differently?

    Some of the words and attitudes here in this thread give a new gloss to 'Christianity.'

    If there is something smaller than a grain of salt, that is what I’ll take some of these comments with.
    I doubt I can express how little regard I have for them. That’s the best I can do to explain it.

    Carry on.

    Good point but most people know I am a heathen I defended Joe Biden (once) on this forum.

    Actually even worse, I admitted on this forum I support Mitt Romney. I mean the guy is a Mormon with nice teeth. That about says it all.

    One word would suffice: "sanctimoniousness".
