I started a thread about an event the occurred the other day at the courthouse in the county I live in.

Really, is the hate of christianity so out of control that supposed adults would go down to the courthouse for the sole purpose of demonstrating their hate toward a handful of individuals?

This is not my opinion, this was on the local TV news last week, and found too offensive by christians? Then why in hell don't you christians ask yourselves why you find the behavior of christians so offensive?

The fact that the truth makes you uncomfortable should raise questions about what you believe, but I'm sure it will only raise your blood pressure, and I'm sure the reports of this post will prove me right.

Why? Because that's what they're taught. Look at all of the wars, murder and outright genocide started in the name of religion. Look at the hatred, slavery, incest and prejudice in the bible.

Besides, hatred is easy. It takes no courage or morals to hate.

That's pretty cryptic. How about a link to the telecast?

I am not into that scene. I was raised Catholic. I still am one. Can I poke fun at some Church beliefs, and some of the nuns and priests who taught me? Absolutely. My only problem with my religion is the phony parish groupies and glad-handing priests, and the silver-spoon Catholic brats for whom Catholic school was more of a country club and didn't absorb anything about humility, which is a cornerstone of any Christian religion. Do I partake, or believe in, any of those marches or rallies Catholics/Christians/fundies engage in? No. It's too fanatical for me.

Yes...those things never happen in secular society.

Besides, hatred is easy. It takes no courage or morals to hate.
The love you show is certainly illustrating your courage and morals.
Those hating Christians should learn from your example.

Sometimes, it's hard to ascertain. Is that ^^^ sarcasm?
