Try your very best. Read that comment until understanding gives way. You should realize that the comment whiffs of a lack of religion. Unless of course you delight in dissension for the sake of its inanity.

Your comment talks about the Good News, and does that with respect to the reader. It has hope that people may read it and consider it. And you call him "Christ" Love-hope-faith + evangelizing + acceptance of Jesus for what he claims he is => your comment couldn't be more Christian. What am I missing?

Good News? What does that mean? You are better off with discernment if you read a remark or a book from start to finish before you make a call for judgment. Again, here's the single news I undertook to broadcast with respect to the reader: "...it just reinforces one thing Mark Twain endeavored to deliver as important message in that essay: "Think for yourself"....."
