Eric, I started reading this with curiosity and an open mind, but then the further I got, it seems the more and more jugemental you became.
Do you really seiously think you are the be-all-end-all of who has mature faith and who does not? You carry the same unbridled arrogance as your buddy Paul, whom the Apostles themselves rebuked and stood against.
This is sheer narcisism cloaked in a veil of self-centered piety that pretends to be all things to all people while demeaning anyone who might disagree with your pagan perceptions of "faith", a faith you inhertied from the pagan Church and its Bible.
Sorry, not buying it.
I know you mean well, but this piece is sheer arrogance on parade. Your faith hasn't matured if this is how you really see others—as their judge.
