   Not particularly, certainly not like religionists like you.

   The faith is not the problem. The supposed followers who spend their   
   lives lying to others are.

   It's lies like this that persuade people that there are a lot of   
   so-called Christians who are completely untrustworthy and immoral.

   I like what Jesus is said to have taught. You've made it clear that you   
   do not.

   You celebrate your ignorance, dishonesty and foolishness. You mock the   
   god you claim to worship with your behavior. You are in no position to   
   lecture anyone on how to behave.
