Let's stop reasoning things out in terms of, "Well, you build shrines
and they hurt me so I'm going to attack you," because we both know why
the other side does what they do.

Here's the crux of the matter, though: It doesn't matter. Nobody cares
what the other side's reasonings are. We will continue to build shrines
and we will continue to defend the innocent. When you stop defiling and
when you stop killing innocents, then the Church will no longer have a
reason to attack you.

Until then, to put it bluntly, we all need to quit our bitching.

Trying to understand the position of the Church using pure reason will
never work. You can point out the inconsistencies in our behavior, in
our dogma, in our beliefs. It doesn't matter. Until you stop trying to
make us appear 'evil' or 'hypocritical', you will never understand us or
our faith. End of story. If you must slaughter children, do so. I'll
spend my life trying to be there to stop you. We all choose our own paths.
