Dwight, I have never watched the Jerry Springer show, although I have read newspaper articles about how disgusting it is. Once when my daughter was changing the channel she stopped on his show for a moment, and it was repugnant to me. I asked her change the channel quickly, and also instructed her that she was not allowed to watch it, ever. I would not have that trash in my house.
I would note, however, that the population of America is overwhelmingly Christian. So I would have to assume that most of his guests are Christians, as well.
I reread my list of people I want treated kindly. I can see how you could have misunderstood, but certainly I assumed almost everyone reading the list would be Christian, and it would seem redundant to list Christians. I have said about a hundred times here at SI that most of my friends and family members are Christians, and really don't want to bore anyone by putting it in every post I write. I think you would have to be pretty meanspirited to construe from my words that I was leaving Christians out.
However, if individual Christians choose to discriminate against black or brown peoples, Jews, or homosexuals, or treat children or animals cruelly, then I would not be supportive of that particular person--but only because of his evil deeds, not his religious background. |
