I'm glad you caught the point I made--that those predisposed to the pursuit of wealth, either through thinking of God as some kind of "Sugar Daddy", or by seeing the congregations as plump sheep for feasting upon are both in the wrong.

You'll also be happy to know that the Bible agrees insofar as telling believers to "have an answer ready" for the hope that they have. If that's what you mean by not "hiding behind the Cross" then you're right--they should stand beside it, and say why.

Careful: If you keep up this rational thought and civil discourse, they're gonna revoke your Atheism "Ghetto Pass"...;)

Regards,
