So you would not criticize Messianic Jews, non-Trinitarians, Lutherans, Catholics, Orthodox, etc?

My criticism would take place upon the ground where tradition is elevated past, or is equal to, the Holy Word of God.

It is always tradition that I rise against, along with historical revisionism... Those two topics encompass the most of what I detest in the area of religion.

As to RCC/Orthodox, that elevation of tradition goes without saying, so in effect, I will always be opposed... Reformers to a lesser degree, though I have offended my own for that reason as well (Protestants did not protest enough, IMHO).

Non-Trinitarians is a very large field. Those who do not deny Scripture I will probably find to be acceptable.

Christ came to simplify the relationship between God and Man, not sustain the status quo, or to complicate it further.

Tradition gave birth to scripture, yet is subordinate to it (just like Mary gave birth to Her God, yet was/is subordinate to it). Tradition does not contradict Scripture.

Well, "acceptable" is relative -- the non-T's that I know are nice people and I would even say they follow Christ, but they don't believe that Christ was God. "acceptable" as in being believers or being Christian -- please could you clarify?
