Ah, here it is, it was FFTT who started the conversation by asking about religious leaders:
re: #114 Flame Fin Tomini Tang
You seem to be saying that your religion applies only to what you do, not what others do.
Unfortunately that is not what the theologians, imams, or popes would venture to say, even if they wanted to due to the fear of great punishment.
Which is why, as a Bishop, John Shelby Spong’s rank is pertinent to the conversation.
And I daresay that there are many religious people who, even if they think their own religion is “more right” than others, would hold that their faith only applies to what they do and not what others do.
