We don't seem to be disagreeing. I've moved away from organized religion because I no longer believe in deities. I didn't say Christ came up with the rule, but he lived by it. I don't worship him, but I certainly respect him as a man for the way he conducted himself. As a product of his time, he was rather impressive. As for the golden rule, I stand by it as an ideal, an ideal which I myself have a lot of trouble living up to, and I acknowledge the fact that organized religion is hypocritical in its application of said rule. My original comment was aimed at your drive by comment, which I found kind of condescending. You seemed to be totally dismissing the words of the chaplain, simply because he's a Catholic priest.
