Really, eh? You say you were raised Southern
Baptist...why don't you ask some of them if they'll
acknowledge it (well, 'some' almost certainly will,
but your statement seems to be implying that all will)

Or, they could just accuse every other religion as
being full of sinners as is more often done. Along
with various other tactics, some lesser, some worse...

It seems you're referring more to theologians, and
maybe some of the rare thought inspired believers;
perhaps I missed something in the thread that referred
this to believers on this list, in which case you'd be
right and a dilligent effort to explain such things
would probably occur.?..
