"...act like a bunch of hardshell baptists (they know the truth and the rest of us are "sinners")."
If it wasn't for the Andover Baptists you would not have the separation of church and state here. As for freedom of speech, and the right to bear arms, ditto the Presbyterians and other Christian founders, so tread lightly around that one.
When you know the truth (on any matter), and won't move, there's nothing wrong with that. When you are unable to debate it without malice, then you are in violation... and IMHO, indicates that your grasp on the truth is unsure.
No, I'm not a Hardshell. Just a Baptist. And a sinner.
I'm not offended by that, so don't worry about it, I get that kind of thing stuffed in my face just about every day.
