Christians bashers???

I think your overblowing things a bit. Lets remember that the US has many religions and no "national" religion. Why do Christians feel so attacked recently. I am Christian and do not feel attacked.Maybe its cause i do not thing my religion, or any religion should be pushed on people, just as i would not want theirs pushed on me.

Merry Christmas for example. How is this an attack. It is a religious holiday, but its also a retail holiday. Why would retail not want to advertise to the most number of people possible. Guess what their are more holidays during December than Christmas. Anyway you would figure Conservatives like Bill' O and Fox would support capitalism and these stores trying to maximize their consumer bias during this time of year.

I have never been attacked by "a gay" or an atheist. If you are, then maybe you need to change the people you associate with. Also if you want government to begin pushing national religions, their are places like that....in Middle East.


Responce from Crazy Lady

I would say that you may be a casual Christian - CINO - Christian in Name Only. And/or either very naive or very badly informed.

On the matter of Merry Christmas there has been an effort in these recent years to expunge "Merry Christmas" from stores, advertising and replace it with "Holiday Greeting".The ACLU and the liberal left are spearheading it.

I definitely agree with you that the Government should not be promoting religion.

NO, I haven't been personally attacked by a Gay or an atheist. But if you are a Catholic Christian are you not revolted by the molestation of choir boys by Catholic Priests.

If you have a young son who wants to be a cub or boy scout do you not worry about the attempted invasion of the Boy Scouts by Gays !

Have you not heard about the lengthy litigation by Gays on the Boy Scouts. Or the multi million dollar settlements the Catholic Archdiocese are paying to the Congregations whose boys were molested.

The USA is 85% Christian. Since the founding of our nation religion has been an important part of our culture protected by our Constitution. Every time you take an oath or are sworn the invocation is "so help you God". In God we trust is on our currency. The President of the USA is sworn in using a bible - not the Torah or a Koran.

Take the example of the reaction of the Muslims when Salman Rushdie wrote derogatory books about Islam. The mullahs ordered a hit on him. He had to go into hiding.

When the Danish newsman printed cartoons uncomplimentary to Muslims they went berserk and wanted to assassinate him.

By contrast your ho hum, lackluster, notably lethargic reaction to attacks by atheists on Christianity is certainly indicative of a very indifferent attitude.

Response by wooter

Perhaps my lethargic reaction is because i do not what to be an extremist like the examples you gave from Muslims. Is a Christian extremist any different than a Muslim extremist.

Yes God is in our currency, founding documents, and in many parts of our lives. Also yes our nation was founded by mostly Protestant Christians. But the US has change abit in our over 150 years as a nation. To me In God we Trust (and other examples in "common" usage) is not just the Christian god but a term for god in all religions that people worship in the US. Also i do not think the chance of the use of a Torah or Koran has ever come up when swaring in a president so this is kinda a non point.

Yes it is disgusting when its found that a preist or anyone is guily of child molestation. Whats also disturbing is the covering up of some of these things by the Diocese in some of these cases.

One more thing....I find it "naive or very badly informed" that it appears your trying to say Gay = Child molester. I PRAY that you know and understand the HUGE difference.
