I am sorry, I think it may have been a formatting problem on the text with the mix of copy and paste and your input.

I think I understand what you were saying...basically that Christianity is exclusive also...yes, but there is valid reason for that. It is what God tells us. If one thinks about it all the theological doctrine one needs to truly understand the overall gist of Christianity is summed up in John 3:16. There we are also told that no man is between any individual and Jesus Christ...we all have direct access to Him.

I realize that people who are not Christian may look upon the exclusivity but I don’t think it is the same logically as one denomination of the same religion being exclusive...In the one case we literally have God telling us that all Christians go to heaven...in the other we have some men, outside of the Bible telling us that only one denomination goes to heaven. They are completely mutually exclusive of each other.

I'll respond to the rest of this post later, when I have more of a chance to write, but I did have a recent experience like this.

When I reply to a post, I prefer to quote it, and when I do, I prefer to use such things as italics and blockquoting. I always prefer to preview my posts, in part to check if the formatting looks right.

I'd recently posted something from a computer, which I usually use to write, and my post looked just as I intended it. When I later read the same post on a mobile device, though, some of the lines ran together in odd places (although the italicization still looked right). I rechecked it on the computer, and it looked as it did the first time.

No, I don't know what happened on the mobile device (and I haven't looked again). I also don't know if this case had something in common with your experience, but at least there's the possibility.
