In reply to the discussion: This will offend some people, and for any offence I apologize. [View all]Martin Eden

However, the conclusion of your excellent essay indicates you have misunderstood who I meant by "they," so I refer you to the following quote from my earlier post:
I'm agonistic and accepting of personal religious beliefs, but it my view these rightwingers who call themselves Christians are using religion as a false flag of morality to justify their bigotry and greed.
Today's Republican Party, first and foremost, serves Mammon. They purport to be the champions of God and country, and have been very successful in deceiving tens of millions of gullible voters.
In no way did I intend to convey the impression that ALL Christians are my enemies. Though I am agnostic, my wife is a regular churchgoer. And I certainly do not consider Joe Biden to be my enemy, regardless of my views on the Catholic church.
Peace,
Martin

Thank you for being so considerate of other people's feelings! But NO apology is necessary.

Yes. Because I know the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament.
