I hope that our exchange has given you the benefit of seeing some discrepancy between your own behavior and the precepts and dogma that you promote.
Church attendance has been falling for a while in the West.
It's primary enemies are science and hypocrisy within its membership. The unheard screams of diddled children for 2 millennia is at the top of that list.
Walk the walk Tony. The talk without the walk will cause people to dismiss and walk away.

I'm going to try this one last time...

Marty, the Bible is not a religion.

You have obviously mistaken me for someone whose faith is based upon denominational loyalty to a building and "religious" organization.

The book of Revelation opens with Christ's judgment upon the churches...

Ok, I read that.

Tony, I did not contrast your behavior with a church structure, or a denomination, or a religious umbrella organization such as Southern Baptists.
I contrasted your behavior and insults with specific passages in the bible. So if these passages are not fraudulent and are, in fact, the word of God, then your behavior and insults and judgements do not comply with them.

Our little meeting here has not been about religion. It has been about your insults and hypocrisy (vis-a-vis) the religious views and "word of God" that you are always touting.

And Christ may have denounced the Jewish hierarchies and money changers, but it isn't 2000 years ago and you are Tony, not Christ.

Somehow the job has fallen on me to give you greater clarity, in order that, you can become a better Christian. Please try to help out with that.

You need "help", MartyDom?
Fine...
I don't give a damn how a pretentious agnostic believes Christians should behave. If I lack appropriate concern for offending you with my lifestyle, go fuk'yerself.
I'm obviously not that kind of Christian, dumbas$.

Does that help?
