The point about Deists is not a claim that they didn’t believe in God. They were not a well liked group because they weren’t necessarily Christian. Intolerance has always been alive and well.

The anti-Christian hatred here is absolutely fascinating.

Not surprising, but fascinating.

Nicely said, learntoplaynice. If you say you’re a Christian, people look at you and say OH, you’re not perfect? Guess that makes you a hypocrite. They hold others to a much higher standard. As someone else pointed out, if you say you’re a law-abiding citizen, then you better not ever have broken a single rule or law or even thought about it or you’re a totally fake person. Whatever….. don’t EVER hold others to a higher standard than you can uphold and remember when you are judging others for being judgemental, you’re being judgemental. People just like to pick on other people and think that they make sense doing it but they’re just bullies who don’t really care what others think. They just like to pick on people. What-ev…

Dobson is a self-proclaimed Christian; he doesn’t speak for me or millions of other Christians. Remember that, too, haters, when you lump millions of people together and speak as if they all think exactly alike, have all the same traits, you are the one who looks ignorant. Dobson needs better people skills period. you can’t ram your beliefs, whatever they are, down others’ throats.

And to others, an elected official saying that they are a Christian, Jew, spaghetti monster in the sky worshipper or whatever, that is NOT mixing church and state!! The more public the service or job, the more they teach you from the beginning to do the job, not to let your personal beliefs or feelings affect how you do your job or treat others. Some people are so simplistic, it would be sad if it weren’t so pathetic.

Zorg the Destroyer- You’re right, Christians are supposed to love everyone. And I try to do that everyday. The reason we can’t agree on who to hate is because no one is supposed to hate anyone. And even though I am a Christian, I know that not every Christian is a perfect person; no one is perfect. But I will not tolerate it when people insult others just because of their religious beliefs.

It’s funny how people say that a lot of hatred had risen from relgion. That is NOT true! A lot of hatred has risen from people who refuse to respect other people’s beliefs. So by insulting Christians or any other religious belief, you are helping support the very thing you supposedly are fighting against-hatred.

Oh, and from the earlier comments: Yes, religion was an infulence of the Founding Fathers! You’re talking to someone who has heard this arguement for years. You do realize that Diests believe in God? And what of John Adams? Was he not a DEVOUTE Christian?

But what bugs me is how people think that Christians hate people who do not aline with their beliefs. Some Christians might, but they’re not supposed to. God and Christ taught us to love others, even if we disagree with them.

Just like Barak borrowed his title “The Audicity of Hope”, he “borrowed” his scripture context from an episode of “The West Wing.” When is someone going to call Barak on that?

As far as I can tell, the “christians” on this blog can’t even agree on who they should hate. Aren’t you guys supposed to love your neighbors? There’s an awful lot of judgement and name calling. But, maybe that’s from the part of the bible that sinners can ignore.

here’s my 2 cents: Most prominent Christians, like Dobson, are doing it wrong. People get the impression all Christians think like evangelicals. No so. It’s an individualized process for some, others are sheeple being led. God is a highly individualized concept as well by whatever name you use.

As for man’s sinful nature as pointed out above, I can now say atheists really piss me off and not feel like a “bad Christian” for saying it. Not all atheists, just the ones who make blanket statements. And the ones who are too lazy to think. And the intolerant ones. And the ones who don’t know the difference between Christian and Catholic and religion and faith and other simple words. Did I leave anyone out??

For those who didn’t know, Jon Stewart is a (gasp) Jew.

Rocko, meant to include this in my other comment… partisan politics wasn’t part of the plan. At least not on the level it is now, where all you get are two bad choices and a bunch of specialty choices that focus on one issue. Washington was not a politician at heart either. He knew how to rally the people with his presence, military record, and charisma, but he would have been very disappointed to see what America has become were he alive today. Of course you need different groups and opinions for the people to choose from, but this set up is lame and doesn’t give us much choice, does it?
