Hollywood Conservatives: Should They Just Shut Up and Entertain?
@ Richard
Actually, this is your post that I was responding to:
“You confuse ethics with religion. According to your line of reasoning, atheists are inherently immoral, which is the reason why the Christian chest thumping of the right continues to alienate the center. That point of view is self-righteous and arrogant, not to mention just plain wrong.”
I simply disagree with your point. Nothing more, nothing less.
Shifting gears, I would be a self-righteous, hypocritical Christian if I said the following:
*I’m morally perfect.
*I hate those who don’t share my faith, skin color, etc.
I’ve neither said or thought nothing of the sort. When I contrast myself to God, I’m instantly reminded that Hell is all I deserve because of how sinful I am in His eyes. It’s only because I’m saved through Christ that Heaven, not Hell, will be my eternal destination. Heck, it’s because Christ is my Savior that I can act in a moral manner.
That’s a very humbling realization, one that He reminds me of daily.
I hope that clears things up.
