14. I'm sorry, but most Christians deserve to be demonized
It's not just "extremists", it's the vast majority of Christians who hold these insane views. They're preaching politics from the pulpit, encouraging hatred of gays, liberals, Muslims, pro-choice voters, you name it. When I was a Catholic, I used to go to mass, and there was none of this political shit and hatred. Today, things are so different....
And I personally have yet to meet a Christian who isn't inherently evil in some way. We had a neighboring family who seemed like the exception to my theory, giving me hope...but then it turned out that they were abusing their foster child. The ones who sing the loudest in church are the ones doing the worst shit at home.
If there are Christians here who are not like that, I salute you, and wish I could meet you. But please realize that you are in a very, very small and rapidly shrinking minority.
Wow! See? That hardly took any time at all.

Yeah right,insane hatred of any and all things Christian is almost a prerequsite to signing up at the DUmp.
Of course the issue is the definition.
To a primitive a "good" christian is one who says they are and believes in the religion of Humanism and the politics of Socialism.
A "bad" Christian is one who believes that living a Christian life requires the sacrifice of ones selfish wishes after accepting that they are a sinful person in need of redemption through Jesus on the cross.

So I guess that makes it ok. Drug dealers do a lot of killing so killing is OK.
