Whether you like it or not, the description of being nice has a connotation of being clueless. Obviously the word can be applied to people who are not clueless, but it still has that vibe about it.

I didn't make up that the definition is as such. Go find a dictionary that has not been revised to "match" the way people tend to use the word lately. ( such as a dictionary made 10 years ago ) You will find that is the actual definition.

Respect is a two way street. Those deserving of respect also need to give it and treat the people "beneath" them well. I do not give respect to people who are abusive to everyone around them.

You state that people who write articles are trying to bring benefit into the world, but that is really wishful thinking. If you look clearly at the motivations of the people crafting articles and the actual quality of the content they have created, you will find that the motivations are quite a bit less wonderful. The most common motivation is to get attention.

I am unsure why I should be offended if you state that people attending church on a regular basis tend to be arrogant and narrow minded. I should say that is simply a true statement. If people are offended by that then fuck them. If you stated "People who attend church are a bunch of dumb hicks" then that would be offensive. You didn't state it that way. You just made a rather defensible observation; a controversial one obviously, but I think it has weight.

I don't even follow your second example statement. It doesn't make sense.

You still haven't responded to the actual point of the observation heard in church. You seem to be deliberately ignoring the idea.
