no worries, Tsel. i didn't miscontrue Al's words. just my statement to all about religion & believers & differences between.

problem with some christians who sound like know-it-all are those who are enlightened to start the journey towards better self but stuck at the beginning of it. the little that they know becomes encompassing experience that overwhelms them & that makes them feel all-knowing. many forget Jesus's teaching of 'becoming like children', which is not to assume. just like little children. whatever we know is a start, a tip of the iceberg, & not the encompassing truth.

i recall a priest who admonished the congregation, "God is bigger than u, than me, than the congregation, than the church! what makes you think he operates only within our faith?"

religion isn't truth. it is a path to it.
