   Pagan is a religion.  'True religion' is an oxymoron.   
   'To visit the widow and the fatherless in their affliction and to keep   
   yourselves unspotted from the world' could be a pagan mandate predating your   
   religion's use of it.  Christianity stole heavily from the pagan beliefs and   
   then turned on them, despising their fathers.   
   I'm afraid that your confidence in your beliefs is only caused by your lack   
   of understanding of the religions that it was derived from.  There is   
   nothing unique or new in the Christian faith.  It is all just a rehash of   
   someone else's religion.   
   It's only popular because it is one of the few religions where you are   
   encouraged to judge others and then hide behind your deity when people call   
   your bluff.   
   If you were to follow this pattern, you'd ask me to take my complaint to   
   Jesus since you don't want to hear it.  Rather cowardly, wouldn't you say?
