I believe you. My spelcheck likes to point out the problems with quoted posts. Such as your first two words in this post.

The answer is NO. I am trying to "save" people from a life of enslavement to a fairy tale that controls them based on their fear or mortality. A higher calling I am not aware of.

So that is a problem , isn’t it.

How can you comment, much less save, anyone from when you have no knowledge of what you even talking about?

its easy to learn enough about something to think we are right. It is a lot harder to learn enough to see that we are wrong. And admitting it is another whole ball game.

and we all are partly guilty.

Gee, you're so noble! You're out here fighting the good fight to keep people from believing something you believe is false, so they will believe your fairy tale...

No we are all not partly guilty. Not all of us think we are fit to lecture others about stuff we readily admit our ignorance of. We keep our peace and try to learn more.

I would actually say presenting the truth as best we can as a higher calling. Teaching each other and helping each other.

activism against religion is not only not a "higher calling" its actually so miss guided that the core issues go unaddressed. like addiction, abuse, and mental illness not only don't get a addressed but activist are willing to use these people in their activism as smart bombs.

Case in pint.
