He said that saying godly people are good by nature is just as much of a horseshit blanket statement as saying godly Christian's are not good people. That's it. He didn't say they were phonies or anything else against them. And I know Crash can speak for himself but maybe he doesn't want to meet them, I sure as hell don't. I have better things to do on Sundays than congregate with a bunch of sinners.
Religious moderates are some of the most arrogant fucked up people I've ever come across. That's not to say they're all bad people, but the act of having faith in God and going to church does not make someone inherently good anymore than the act of not believing makes someone inherently bad.

Godly Christians are not good people.
Godly people are by nature good people.
Crash is right -- that's a fact, not an opinion. Both of those are indeed blanket statements that could never be validated; they're opinions (based on religious affiliation, or limited personal experience, or any number of factors).
It would be the same as me saying "literal brunettes with big breasts are naturally kind-hearted", and you responding that "literal brunettes with big breasts are bitchy ball busters".
This.
Some of you Jesus freaks are a little over-defensive this time of the month...full moon or something?
