It is. I can picture it now, hard-core bible-ists standing at the Pearly Gates with bibles in hand to show that they have God with them.

What? What on earth would make you say that? I mentioned no names and I mentioned no specific denominations or even general classifications of Christians. I merely made an observation regarding the tendency of some people on this forum to be very judgmental of others. Are you telling me that there are no judgmental people here? If you disagree with what I said about judgmental people, then debate that point. Don't automatically assume I was calling you out.

I stand by my original statement that people who are the most confident in their beliefs are generally not as condemning of others as those who feel they have something to prove. It seems to me that some people's self-esteem rides almost solely on how well they see themselves as being able to "win the debate." They absolutely have to be undercutting other people's beliefs in order to feel confident that their own beliefs are valid.

Telling someone they are misguided about thinking they have a book that is the one and only true source of knowledge straight from God AND also saying that no one's beliefs are beyond question, is not hypocritical.

Did you even read the bold???? You act like Vizio and either ignore what refutes your views or just make knee-jerk responses in defense of your unwarranted certainty.

My response to that is simply to question why we think we know what we know? And what is our source of knowledge? Are all sources equal?
POINT PROVEN with the second response......

Jesus will deal with it on His time
GOD said to LOVE your NEIGHBOR...

Claiming all beliefs are questionable, and then telling someone else their belief is wrong is called hypocrisy.

No it isn't. It is expressing an opinion. Only those who actually THINK their beliefs are unquestionable and beyond dispute can be hypocrites.
