They just hate each other for their chosen religions so much they can't see it.

You see Christians have the true God so they are totally different.

(Even though they both believe in the God of Abraham,)

I don't think that takes away from the message, though. These ladies are more similar than they'd each like to admit.

to the level of fanatics that exist in this country these days than it does guns..

the ability of someone to make such a picture and exhibit that much ignorance will forever and always be mind boggling to me... and her complete obliviousness to her likeness of the other photo, which lets be honest.. this is probably her first time even seeing a picture like that.. and the hypocrisy within almost everything she says. its like its a popularity contest for her.. has nothing to do with actual beliefs, she doesn't have any of her own.. its about attention. play to your audience.

i mean, you should go check out her work (and by work i mean rants.. she has a blog and a twitter account that are very active) .. even gets folks like herman cain responding and retweeting her stuff...
it physically hurts my brain. i mean it. ouch.

i severely lack in a lot of things in life.. but i cant imagine a world where basic logic and reason are almost non-existent as this poor person displays.. i mean, it has to be satire.. right?


EDIT:
btw, id imagine someone made up the second pictures 'tweet' post.. but both pictures are very much legit.. and that's very much all that matters..
tolerating hatred as freedom of speech sure gets old some times.
