37. I'm really not that easily offended.
I too fell out of the faith and the belief. But are you willing to decry all those who believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ in the faith that they were raised in even if they DON'T agree with the decrees of some fancy hat half-a-world-away as hypocrites? That's YOUR choice. But if you do offend me, you do so because the choice you made becomes the LITMUS TEST for everyone else. Be like me or I condemn thee. How "spiritual". How Old Testament.

You don't score points with me as some hyper-evolved person because you left the faith on principle. I left the faith because I just don't think there is a God, you did because you were dissatisfied with their positions. Fine. But lambasting all of those who didn't make your choice as hypocrites, firstly, does not hold water, and secondly, does not represent any view I'd call charitable.

Oh. Well.
