Makes sense. Religion seems to turn most people into confused hypocrites. How you can take a message like peace, love, and tolerance and turn it into some of vilest atrocities on the planet has always baffled me.

Reality check.

78% of Americans identify themselves as Christian.

This may have more to do with it than the religion itself...you think?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Its certainly true here.

And its the christians here who want the refugee kids sent back to be killed, sold into sexual slavery and kept away from their families.

I wonder if its always been so? And, is it mostly fundies or does this hatred come from mainstream religions as well?

I dont think it specified America but I was thinking the same thing. Christianity and Islam are the 2 biggest religions in the world. The article made no mention of Muslims.

Jews, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists never targeted Quinn, she asserted, noting that the only other group that had targeted her in such a manner had been atheists, whom she characterized as "contemptuous, insulting and condescending."

Nobody cares except Christian haters like yourself.

 

[Kondor3]

Excellent.

They can start by hating 'guno'.

I mean, after all, what's not to hate?

Its certainly true here.

One internet source that states the most vile emails come from Christians is:
1. Subjective,
2. An assertion that cannot be proven, those sending the emails may or not be Christian,
3. An isolated sample.

Thus, nothing to back up the OP except limited, questionable evidence.

As for the final claim, I am of the Christian faith, and want none of the things listed. Ascribing arguments and beliefs so that one can attack them is not debate, merely rants and raves.

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

Well if we go by what we read here- the majority of us could put any satanist to shame with our potty mouths so while I think Christians can be lewd, I'd have to give the blue ribbon to partisans.

Christian is a generic term, The 78% you cite is as diverse as is the population throughout the US. Some are crazy - they post on this forum as conservatives; others actually believe in the word of Christ, and those are called Commies by the crazy ones.

I agree that this is anything but a scientific sampling but it didn't state that all christians are haters.

Nor did I, although it does seem that Internet message boards have become a microcosm view of our society.

I'm sure there are atheist hate groups as well.

I notice that she managed to differentiate between people who claim to be Christian and followers of Jesus, too bad you can't do the same thing.

It is the idiots that believe that shit is going to actually happen.
