Xians can be such idiots sometimes
I had someone tell me that I personified what was wrong with the Democratic party by my disrespectful attitude toward Xians. What was so disrespectful, you ask? My use of the terms Xians and Xianity.

Two thoughts come to mind over this: 1) Just how freaking ignorant is this individual? and 2) Just exactly how far are we going to be expected to go in sucking up to these people who think they are superior to pretty much everybody else?

1. Considering I've had to explain it to more than one Xian DUer,
I'm not surprised. They can't even bother to inform themselves about the history of their own faith. :eyes:

2. Perhaps they were embarrassed that you were clearly better informed
about Christian terminology.

4. I tell you what...
Nothing seems to get them more flustered than when you can quote the bible better than they can. :)

6. Responses to your questions:
1- Completely. Because belief = negation of knowledge.
2- The only limit is when you see the light. Means to that end are completely indifferent. Can go up to torture and murder id need be.
