If we were all to keep our beliefs to ourselves, you wouldn't have much to say, nor would comment sections exist at all, right? Think the logic through to its conclusion. Not to mention, as you know I'm sure, that a basic Christian belief is that Jesus told us to tell everyone about what he taught. Keeping His word to ourselves is not an option.

Question: how is characterizing my free speech and my attempt to clarify basic and widely held Christian doctrine as being on a "super-sanctimonias soap box" anything like the "basic degree of respect" you claim to give to all in your very next sentence? I attempt to inform, and you act like I have dictatorial power to impose my beliefs somehow, then try to shut me up by claiming I have no respect for my fellow humans if I don't. Perhaps I hit a nerve? As I said before, those who are comfortable with their own beliefs don't have this problem. Thanks for illustrating my point.
