If you believe in God, do it quietly, He will do the work. If you do not believe in God, do it quietly, because you can hurt and harm people who do and will not change their minds.

If you are born with a few more IQ points than most, use them for the betterment of mankind. That does not always mean you have common sense or compassion.

Arrogance is a word to describe some that try to show themselves superior by criticizing people who are peacefully living their lives with a gentle faith to sustain them.
To believe that a supreme made ourselves in his image or gave his only begotten son is, to me, arrogant or, at the least self serving. Also, religions groups have a history of trying to convert others to their religion without respecting the current religion of these people. Look at all missions by the Spanish as well as white shirts on bikes handing out pamphlets. My thoughts.
