what bothers me most
about the sacred DU cow of christianity is the implication:

1. that MY personal, subjective belief is so perfect and valid that it falls outside the scope of criticism.

2. that YOU MUST respect MY personal, subjective belief, regardless of what YOU think, have experienced, or know.

3. that MY personal, subjective belief is superior.

or am i way off base? if so, how?

1. I've never understood why the concept of/belief in God is off limits

for some people....(for a topic of discussion)

God is not a sacred cow. (teehee)

3. Yes, as if our experiences that led us to reject christianity are not
worthy of respect or understanding....

4. I agree.
We can debate anything here, but we have to shut up and swallow anything anyone says because it's their precious religious belief? Uh uhhh! Don't think so! (making downward zig-zagging motion with upraised index finger)
