In the US the majority religion is Christianity. I have noticed a rising tide of paranoia among some Christians who seem to feel Christians are under attack. I don't see it. Christians have their own TV networks, their own radio networks. They own Christmas and Easter, two of our major holidays- times when throughout our centers of commerce anyone can shop for Jesus anywhere, be it at the mall or at the supermarket. I don't hear Christians being called foul names. I see a lot of religious folk calling other people foul names- and blaming all societal ills on the fact that there isn't enough religion. But quite frankly I don't see people calling Christians "foul" names. Once in a while a group of labeled "sinners" may call the Christians "intolerant"- but that's hardly a foul name.

Please give me some specifics from the media. I bet I can find you Christian web sites calling other groups- especially gays- all sorts of names. Let's see what you can find me.

Here's some rather irrational stuff:

godhatesamerica.com

Please be sure not to miss in the above article this "foul" name calling "Satanic sodomites control her. " I wonder who is so holy they can look into another's soul and judge who the Satanic sodomites are?

Oh lookeee- here's some more stuff- could we call this "foul" name calling? hmmmmm:

"disease-ridden vermin calling themselves gays and lesbians"

It really is unfair that Christians can't use words like faggot, kike, nigger, etc., isn't it, Lino?

Exactly what kind of Christian are you, anyway? The hateful, ignorant, hypocritical kind?

As I said, it is a weak argument for you two to claim bigotry when a single example was cited in response to a single example.
