Brimstone,

I'm not angry but a couple of things caught my eye in your post that I think are relevant to this thread.

Gandhi once said, "I like your Christ but I do not like your Christians, they are so unlike your Christ."

This is certainly true about us Christian sinners, but why didn't Gandhi become a Christian and then be the only "Holy Man" in all the earth. This (what Gandhi said) is exactly the kind of hypocritical judgment that the Scripture forbids! Do you really think you are going to win an argument in a Christian forum by quoting this Hindu man of "peace and love"? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/Banghead.gif" alt="" />

Kalled wasn't making backhanded accusations but speaking the truth, it is unchristian to make fun of people

They were hardly making fun of people but justifiably angry that someone would bring a pet dog into a Christian worship service.

Maybe "tripe" was a bit harsh but "sophistry" was not, as Kalled did accuse others of an unloving and judgmental spirit of condemnation, by quoting unapplicable Scripture. And, IMO, Kalled was doing this in a back door attempt to defend the heresy of the Emerging Church.
