So stipulated. Rules a very large percentage of professed christians,

Let me say that I have no truck with true christians who leave me be.
They may be confused about reality, but that's their right, their

Where I'm less happy is about the vast numbers of professed christians
who fail John's test, or appear to, and who want to meddle in my
internal affairs in the name of righteousness. A pox on their houses.
