Note to all: in argument, personal attacks are useless. Refrain from making irrelevant judgments. If you are being criticised, NEVER criticise your critic to excuse your own behaviour. If you do that, you're just missing the point of the original criticism, and it is probably worth regarding

no Christian, no saint

[publius_aelius]

I share the opinion of the great Danish Christian existentialist, Kierkegaaard: don't call anybody "Christian" before they're dead, just as nobody can be called a saint until they're dead. It's too high a designation: we're just apprentices at it. Soren also said that the greatest obstacles to practising Christianity were our fellow Christians, organized into churches. I call myself a "Roman Catholic"--in part b/c it has to do with family tradition and heritage and little to do with me--but "Christian" never. Youmay flatter me that way after I'm dead, but not now!
Your observation about criticism is mature and wise.
