I understand that this is what you believe. I do not share your view.

That we as Christians are not any different than anyone else. There is nothing unique or special about who we are or how we were created compared to everyone else.

Except that you believe that only Christians "have received the Holy Spirit", which means that only Christians can "do the will of God", as you said here:

That makes you different from everyone else, in your mind, does it not? The belief that Christians, and only Christians, "have received the Holy Spirit", and Christians, and only Christians, can "do the will of God"?

Fundamentalist ideologues are special snowflakes who believe their rights supersede the rights of others in the community.

Everyone can receive the same spirit, it's what you choose.
