Misunderstandings abound.
Will address some things here later, but I've got some work that was just dropped on my plate. For now sea_sea: it's not my way or any other Christian's way; it's God's way. That's neither pretentious nor close-minded; it merely implies a source of faith which some possess and others do not. It has absolutely nothing to do with any human merits, and everything to do with Christ. It appears close-minded and pretentious to you because you do not share in those beliefs.
Where, I must ask, is your moral basis for considering Pitt to be a better person based on your criteria above? Where did this moral standard come from, this idea that he's a better person because he supports gay marriage, legal pot, and opposes organized religion? I'm not back-handedly knocking you here, I'm asking a genuine question. Because we must be honest with ourselves: our sense of morality, what's acceptable or not acceptable, always comes from somewhere. Because your criteria have been hawked ad nauseum from one corner of our society to another, it seems to be more of a latter-day humanistic group-think at play here than any moral system that's been generated by a higher power. So let me ask you: is popular societal consensus a firm moral foundation to stand upon? How can statements of absolute truth come from such a footing, if truth is an inherently moving target that has more to do with perspective than with anything that is fixed? Interested in your thoughts here.
More later.
