You might say that but I couldn't possibly comment.

Sorry, I was brought up a Presbyterian who was taught that you don't
need anyone to stand between you and your morals. I realise that this
is not the same for everyone.
But to say that the vast majority of people need to be told how to
live is elitism. IMO The vast majority of people need food and an
education and not to be oppressed.  
And as for being as much of a sinner as anyone else. Then stop being
one and that includes the sins of making people believe in your small
god and starting sentences with and or but. (A particular failing of
mine.) But I don't think that I'll go to Hell because of it. " 'Cause
this is Hell nor am I out of it."
