So what! Aren't we all allowed to choose a path for our lives that we think
is best? 

***of course.  I do think however that mutual respect suggests that we might
not want to call each other idiots because of the different paths we chose.

Why do you feel the need to yell over at people on other paths how arrogant
they are?

***Because arrogance is wrong.  And I didn’t yell Bruce, you are.  I will
repeat my original post again:

	I almost feel your reply is a bit smug and arrogant Lance.

	" We who were raised in ignorance of the fullness of what
Christianity really is, historically, universally"

	And that makes someone like me just an ignorant schlub?  Is your
belief that you are on the best path to god any better than an evangelical?

	I may be reading you wrong, and if so I apologize.

***I didn’t have anything close to a strident tone.  You brought that into
it by jumping on me like a fat kid on a  twinkie.

Could we just drop the arrogance and "holier-than-thou" accusations?

***Um, no.  If I feel someone tone is needlessly arrogant, I will say so.
If you disagree, feel free to do so, but how dare you tell me to suppress my
feelings because they make you all butt hurt or something.  You are doing
what you accuse me of, you are attacking my tone in far harsher language
than anything I used.

***If Lance has an issue with my original post he can take it up with me.
As it is, I stand by my initial impression.  He was speaking presumptively
and making broad generalizations and was being (IMHO) arrogant.  And by the
way, I grant him his belief that said arrogance was not intentional.  But it
was still there. 

***And it has, frankly, had the effect of souring me for the Orthodox faith,
frankly.  Someone mentioned how evangelicals drive people away.  So,
apparently, do Orthodox.
