51. Christianity and Christians are destroying this country.

Mon Sep 23, 2013, 05:53 PM

Sep 2013

They've used their Bible to justify genocide, theft of lands, and destroying *Native Americans tribes to support of slavery, *justify Jim Crow laws, animal abuse, child abuse, spousal abuse, destroying the environment and those who depend on it animals and people, the ongoing war on women,GLTB, POC, I could go on and on.

I try to be tolerant, but damn I'm sick of them and I'm sick of the "Oh but they aren't Real Christians!!(tm)
It's a cop out and only serves to make you feel better, not non -Christians. Yeah, they are, very much so.
And when someone tells me they're a Christian, I automatically assume they're are intolerant wingnuts.

*yes it happened centuries ago but its effects are still felt and they haven't let up on their racism.
