Well said Sheldon.
Equazcion, my comment about people abandoning their current beliefs or converting based, was in response to a comment made by Flint. I would imagine most people who change their religion don't do so lightly. |

It's like, you start reading it, "I've scraped smarter things than Paris Hilton," and it sounds like you're saying you've scraped other people who were smarter than Paris Hilton, then you get to the "off my shoes" part, and you have to rethink the sentence. Whereas "I've scraped things off my shoes," makes it clear right away that we're talking about scraping something off shoes, not just going and scraping things. See what I mean? I know when I read it originally, I had to re-read it a couple times before it made fluid sense. Anyway it's just a suggestion. As far-reaching as the implications that this issue presents, I'm willing to concede to whichever version Sheldon decides on.

I didn't say all those who follow Christ. I'm saying Christianity. I'm not lumping anyone into anything. I know plenty believers in Jesus don't hold those beliefs, but it still stands that it is doctrine for Christianity that everyone else is going to hell. It's not doctrine for Judaism that everyone else is "an ass," as you said.

Right, Flint, but again I don't think the average person has the courage to put that into practice.

Alternatively, people believe that their grouping has it right, but that some people within it are pushing a harder line/slightly different interpretation and making it unpleasant, but not to the point that they are made to doubt the basic idea that unites them.
