You may well be right but, by the same token, "His goodness" also gives me to understand that all religion is a farce and a mockery -- and those who claim from it superior morality for themselves are the worst hypocrites of all.

Christians cannot claim superior morality for ourselves because our morality does not come from ourselves.

Morality comes from God, Who created all things, including you.

Christians simply strive to live by the morals taught in the New Testament by the Lord Jesus Christ. We wish the same for our children and our neighbors.

Everyone has some form of morality (or lack thereof) that they subscribe to. It is impossible to pretend that you are not imposing your morals on another. If you believe in any rule of law in any shape or form, you have imposed your idea of what morality should be. I know you don't advocate total lawlessness and chaos, so therefore you have a moral system which you would like to see enforced.

Why aren't Christians allowed the same right you abrogate for yourself? Now who is the hypocrite? Hmm?

You have said that your morality comes from secular-humanism (whatever that is).

Christians take our cues about morality from Christ and His Church, which has been clearly defined for nearly 2,000 years now.

Where did your secular-humanism come from? Hmm...?
