Well, I think the *idea* might come from the thought that, if I'm going to
believe something, it had better be right! So it's more "we have the answers
as revealed to us" and less "we are right, and you are wrong" Because to tell
you the truth, Ed, God is so much bigger than religion. If *anyone* thinks
they have the corner on truth, they are either deluded, crazy or both:-)
