Now if you could just get the tens of thousands of Christian sects to agree on who those people are...
it has nothing to do with agreeing

The bible does not say all men are created equal... in fact the bible speaks quite clearly of God's chosen people (and by extension God's not-chosen people), advocates slavery, and considers women as property (granted, they aren't "men", but I would imagine the bible should still be more enlightened in that area if it were truly moral and divine).
By extrapolate, you must mean by putting words in my mouth.
I've never made that argument, and don't even agree with it at all.... This is another example of a strawman.
Rather than making up arguments I disagree with and then try to pin them on me, try actually addressing what I've said.
And trying to use the bible to promote the idea that humans have "worth and dignity" is absurd. The message contained in the bible is that we're all worthless sinners deserving of eternal damnatio.

the universal church are people who are following after the ways of Christ
As I have said, there are tens of thousands of sects with differing ideas of what that means.
1 John 4:1-3
4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
KJV
There is no such thing as "free market capitalism". "Limited Government" capitalism leaves huge corporations as de-facto governments.
It is essentially the same thing as socialism, communism, and fascism.
I've been watching this bastard child of the modern "left" and "right" coming together for some time now. It's nothing new. It's a rollback to approximately 1890.
the universal church are the people who are going to live with Christ forever
No, because I can answer each and every one of them.
What you really ought to do is find yourself another hobby besides hanging out on a Christian site demeaning people about a religion you clearly have no interest in understanding.
There is no one church like that
You're being ridiculous.
You need to either back off of your offensive anti-Christian rhetoric or else stop pretending to be reasonable, one of the two. No fair minded person confuses you for someone concerned about the ad hominem attacks and straw-men.
There's a difference between debate and demeaning. Again, if you're offended, I'm sorry, but that's your problem.
One of the foundational points of Christianity is that we're worthless sinners in need of salvation. Without that base foundational point, Jesus is irrelevant. And personally, it's a morally sick doctrine as far as I'm considered.
we are still worthless

And yet in this response, you ignore my points again and instead attack me.
You're proving my points for me.
