(17,757 posts)Don't expect me to give the Christian religion a break because it is the only true religion. There have been so many One True Religions in the history of the world that, if I felt a sudden need for religion, I would have a hell of a time choosing the right one. When Christians, under the cover of the Jesus, do bad things, I will call them out on it. That is not hate, but a struggle for survival.
I don't hate Big Foot believers, vapor trail enthusiests, or followers of Santa Claus or the tooth fairy either. I just don't think that, among the groups, there is a substantial difference.
At this point in time, many fundamentalist Christians have taken up the cause of Fascism disguised as patriotism, or Republicanism. Where I don't hate religions, I do hate Nazis. (I have seen what they are capable of) I wouldn't piss on a Christian Nazi if he or she was on fire. Gott mitt uns or not...
I do think that American Christians, the majority of the population, expect special treatment because of their religion. I do not agree, and will not stand by when they lobby for special status with that, but that is not hate either.
I disagree with you, I don't hate you.
