LOL. That's true. Religious extremism of any sort is a bad thing. My main point in that post was that it just seems that there is a wholesale assault on all things Christian in this country. Spoken like someone from the majority. The truth is that in a country where religious freedom is lauded, Christianity predominates and overshadows the other religions to the point where they hardly are noticed.. You are blind to this Christian bias because you are one. Its like the attitude of whites towards blacks. In the early 80s, a study was done of whites and blacks living in the same neighborhood. A neighborhood was perceived to have gone black when blacks occupied roughly 35% of the neighborhood. The same was true for apartment buildings.........that same percentage determined if the building was black or white. In other words, blacks were perceived to be the majority when they were still a minority. Its when whites moved out in droves. Its the same with Christianity. Christianity predominates but even so, any attack against it is seen as a "wholesale assault" even by you. The reality is there could be many more attacks and Christianity would predominate because its the 1000 pound gorilla in America. ted
