It is pathetic how obsessed people are with debunking this or
that about faith. They would do good in going at their lives and
let us those who believe and have faith to go our way.
The so-called free thinkers are not free but imprisoned by some
weird rage and itchy need to chase faith. Their "religion" is more
intolerant than religious people.
Live and let live, I say.

Why do fundamentalist Christians, such as you and RC, so often use expressions like the above when you do not adhere to them yourselves? Do you not recognize the hypocrisy?
You recently started a thread on Debates called "Gay couple 'kicked out of London pub for kissing'" where you give your approval for that action. Is "Live and let live" to apply only to fundamentalist Christians?[/b]

Why do fundamentalist Christians, such as you and RC, so often use expressions like the above? Why not just admit your hypocrisy and take the steps necessary to change it?
It's as if you believe that saying things such as "I am happy that you're perfect, though ...[text shortened]... only lead to having an incoherent belief system?
