9. I'm a liberal and a Christian
and I'm here to tell you, anti-Christian bigotry is NOT a fabrication. When I am faced with a nonbeliever that is aware of my faith, I have been ridiculed for attending church, dissed and told I'm nuts. That is part of being a Christian and our Lord told us we had to endure it. But in all due respect to your post, nuh uh!

Now on the other hand, Jesus also told us that the man who beats his breast, prays in public loudly and proclaims how holy he is will be humbled and that he who prays in private will be exalted. The extreme fundies are all about proving how 'Christian' they are by upholding xenophobic beliefs up as the only important values and ones some of them are even willing to break the Commandments to 'uphold' i.e., people who attack abortion clinics, doctors and workers. There is no place in the Bible they should be basing their walk on, namely the New Testament that the Word tells us to go blow up clinics or get on tv and whine about how people are trying to keep them from celebrating holy days. These kind of folk are the worst thing that could have happened to Christianity since the misguided Spanish Inquisition and the forcible 'baptisms' of the Native Americans by the European invaders.

I wish the fundies would crawl back into the woodwork. I haven't been watching the whine; are they complaining that others want to outlaw the Easter Bunny? Or not outlaw it as pagan? Who can keep up with the rightwing moonbats?!
