Here is what I don't understand Dell, you accuse Danzig of hating "anything Christian" because she points out specific facts about so-called "Christian" ideology that quite frankly deviates from mainstream Christianity...radical viewpoints that dwell on a narrow interpretation of a specific passage (interestingly usually from the Old Testament) while ignoring the teachings of Christ (you know, stuff like love, forgiveness, equality, tolerance of others etc). Often times I get confused by the religious right's focus on the Old Testament (understandable for Jewish folks but Christians??). We are very critical of Islamic fundamentalists but radical "Christians" are admired for their steadfast belief that words in a 2000 year old book written by men is somehow the indisputable truth word for word...stone any adulterers lately?

Thanks somer.

I have no issue with christianity. I do have issues with those who are trying to tear down the separation of church and state, and those who twist jesus' teachings of love to justify hatred and discrimination. And I certainly do not support inequality, like that woman is espousing. She has a right to her opinion, I have the right to disagree.
