By the way, just because the human urge to proselytize is rooted in our predatory nature, that does not mean the subject being proselytized is irrational or incorrect. I am not passing judgment on religion here. I am merely describing why Revtec (and others) feel a deep-rooted sense that "proclaiming the deity of Christ is essential to the faith."
Let me make it clear, I do not mean this is the ONLY reason people promote Christianity. There are many other reasons such as a desire for social justice. The instinct I described is one of many reasons people feel compelled to promote Christianity. For that matter it is one of the reasons I feel driven to promote cold fusion, and it explains why members of the library curtain selection committee get all worked up over stripes versus solid colors.
