Basically, because I turned my mom from a Christian to an agnostic and my dad from an agnostic to an atheist.

Are you saying that you're so awful that they can't imagine that if God exists, he would give them a child like you?

Nice burn.  Well done.  I'll take in stride.

In that none of us are religious, yes.

Why is it that you are non-religious yet nevertheless criticize certain denominations on their beliefs and traditions?

I do the same. Is it a problem?

You criticize all denominations.  Snowstalker bashes Protestant denominations on the virtue of them not being Catholic even though he has no beliefs.  It's probably trolling, but I still consider it a nuisance.

Being outside of a religious faith is really the only way to have a proper take on it all, no?  I mean, people like me and Snowy might not know specifics, but we can see it for what it is.

That has nothing to do with Scott's point, and what you do is not the same thing as what Snowstalker does.

How so?  Scott is saying that Snowy shouldn't have a take on it, essentially.

Here's what he said, and it applies to you as well:

Maybe Snowy just feels Catholicism has some preferable traits.  Maybe I'm trying too hard to defend him, but I feel like he gets piled on a bit too much around here.

Such as? I fail to see how a non-believer can hold transubstantiation and complimentarianism to be preferable. He's also attacked some historical leaders for splitting from the Pope and once again I really fail to see how a non-believer can think it's a bad thing for some country to be less tied to the Pope (especially as we're talking about Middle Ages Popes here as well.)

He's weighing the alternative?  I don't know.
