They are also saying "I allow others to think for me, and I blindly follow their claims, no matter how untruthful they may be."

it's odd, but they will use it as a compliment too. "i can tell you're a spiritual person" or "i can tell you're a person of faith." well, they aren't very perceptive, because neither is true, and i don't feel flattered by the so-called compliment!

I’ve always seen it as frustrating when folks have to tell me they are xtian or born again. Like it is suppose to give them some additional credibility.
