The only thing I can say is that I know of many Christians who do not pursue faith as a means of acting superior and controlling others.

You, and the fomer Reverend West are very much in the vanguard of that group! (By that group, I mean the group who do not proselytize by trying to appear superior)

Even though we have greatly differing viewpoints, I must express how much I appreciate the well-reasoned and well-stated arguments you and mlwest have placed on this bbs.
