Go to Religion is a ShamAdd a commentGo to A commenter suggested

I was not calling them bad . . . .
Bad is not a strong enough term; I remember calling them sham artists, roaches, criminals, charlatans, burt not bad. They go beyond bad.

And calling a charlatan "bad" is not calling oneself bad, not in the rational world I inhabit. It is a social necessity to help others see the evil fraud they perform.

Expose you?
I was merely responding to you. I was speaking of exposing the religious charlatans. Please re-read what I wrote. How could I attack/expose you? I don't know you!

Don't be so sensitive; don't feel you are so important. None of us are that important.

you can expose me if you wish
it's not important. what i wanted to iterate is that by attacking them, you call them bad. when you call another bad, you are calling yourself bad. projecting guilt onto another is to avoid dealing with it where it lies, within the mind that gives it away. that is all i meant. have a great day.
