Truly there is no need for sarcasm nor hositility.

You mean sarcasm and hostility like the following - "Jesus save us from your followers" or perhaps "God save us from the Jews"

Those followers who are doing good deeds are not the ones I personally have a problem with.  It's the ones who have knocked on my door and invaded my home or accosted me in the street with their little pamphlets filled with vitriol, hate and intolerance and who try to cram their beliefs down my throat feeling that I need to be "saved" that I have issue with.  In my own experience, it's been the ones who were the most vocal about what a good Christian they are who were the biggest hypocrites. 

Anyone, regardless of which diety they choose to follow, who feels that their religion or beliefs are the one TRUE way and that all others are condemned to hell or whatever sort of eternal damnation awaits, are the ones that piss me off.  There have been many wars fought over religious and ideological differences.  So much for "thou shalt not kill" eh?

Ummm, perhaps you've forgotten.  JESUS  was a JEW.

Gee I am glad this is in Random Stupidity.  Uhhuh, that was sarcasm!

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a french toast delivery service for cold cold mornings?

I think that it's sad that so many people here take this much joy in hating and bashing an entire group of people. While I'm no Christian, I'm well aware that many Christians are selfless in their service to mankind, like Mother Theresa and countless others just like her all over the planet. Yeah, sure - there are a few bad apples,

No, you missed the point there. About the similarity between Christian bashers today and Nazisism...

A few bad apples?  I don't think so!  My "tag" line has nothing to do with the "Mother Theresa's" of the world...They live there lives in accordance to the teachings of Christ.....And don't hurt a single soul...My problem is with the people who are in a position of power, who call themselves "Christians" but  then virtually all of their actions speak otherwise.

My only concerns are in regards to the people who hold some sort of power that can affect the lives of the people around them....How many towns and cities have you read about a member of the clergy using that position to abuse children?...Google it!...It's rampant..Not just a few bad apples!  The President that we have now is against gay marriage because in The Bible, that marriage is between a man and a woman.( I believe it is only mentioned one time)....Yet countless times in the Bible  Jesus spoke of not only loving each other but loving your enemies as well.....So under the guide of this "Christian" we now find ourselves embroiled in a war which there seems to have been no appropriate reason to be fighting in the first place....Tell me we don't need protection from people like this!!!  Over 3000 soldiers dead ...Tens of thousands horribly wounded!!..People bring out the "Christian cover all" when it suits their needs...but very few even try to walk the path or are capable of doing so....Hypocrites! Each and every one of them....

I am not concerned about Ma and Pa Christian who live on Main st.  U.S.A.,,,,They have no power...(unless they are your parents) They have no affect on the way I live my life....But other self described "Christians" who do have a "voice" routinely try to get into my bedroom, determine what is appropriate for me to read or watch...and are trying to curtail  my right of "free speech"...They would like to tell me how  I should live my life....I say please Jesus protect me from these Mother Fuckers!!!!

In addition, I have a HUGE problem with the religous far right that has too much money and power, influencing our politics (last I knew religoun and politics are supposed to be kept SEPERATE!) with their powerful lobby groups.

Those are the followers we ALL need protection from.

ORIGINAL: Sanity

So it's about politics.

Don't you know that Bill and Hillary and Horse-faced Kerry all claim to be Christian too?

That, and they all voted for war.

The Clintons even attacked Iraq before President Bush did...

But so long as you need an excuse to hate Christians, don't let logic or facts slow you down.

I guess.

No, you couldn't be more wrong. Everyone has a right to petition the government, and the right to petition is one of the fundamental freedoms of all Americans, and is documented in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

As for the war I don't have time....I can tell already you have an opinion...However...Doesn't fit into the context of this discussion....You don't seem to have the capability to stay on the topic or the ability to reason....So if you would like to debate or take exception over what I have written feel free....otherwise I don't have the time for you.
