If there is Persecution of Christians in this country...
It's coming from the RW'ers, not Liberals.

The Scanlon Memo
Manipulation
Fear-Mongering
Anti-Catholic Hatred
Black Church Bombings
The KKK

Need I say more?

3. All this "War against Christmas" nonsense...
is just another issue to "inflame the wackos" to get them to send more money to Falwell...so that he can pocket some, and use some to illegally endorse candidates through his 501 (c) 3.

And, people eat it up like it's some kind of "life or death" issue. I hope they find that puketard involved with Abramoff, Scanlon, and Ralph Reed.

10. Sometimes I think to myself...
you want a war? You got it. We need to play offense against these idiots, instead of just defense--("We're not attacking Christmas")

We need to talk about how the RW Christians want to force Christmas down the throats of Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Pagans, Buddhists, Atheists, and generally every other person who doesn't toe their party line....

Keep asking them, "why do you hate Jews?" Remember it was Bailey Smith who said God doesn't hear their prayers, etc. Just keep asking Falwell and Co....why do you hate Jews? Why do you hate Muslims---put them on the defense.

6. "First, they went after the secular humanists, and I said nothing...."
Sure, any christian who thinks that the theocrats are going to be satisfied with Target having a "Christmas Sale" is kidding themselves. And what exactly is a "Judeo-Christian Tradition"? It's what American evangelical protestant religion suddenly becomes when a Jew steps in the room. And I can't believe the catholic bishops are such tools, they are so thrilled that anyone asks their opinion on ANYTHING anymore, they'll excommunicate a Kerry to please a Falwell.

7. Persecution Is Already Happening For Progressive Christians
Did you hear recently how O-Leilly said he "felt happy" because of the hostage situation in Iraq happening right now? those are progressive Christians working with Muslims toward peace. And this so-called "christian" felt that this was perfectly fine. A church in CA is questioned on its tax status because they have the temerity to call the war into question.

IMO all those rw religious wingnuts are a bunch of hypocrites and thugs.

My 2 cents

14. Progressive christians
have always been persecuted by mainstream christians. They managed to kill off most of the gnostics by 400 AD. This situation isn't that much different. Real christians being fed to the lions by the Pauline/devil worshippers.
