In reply to the discussion: Anti-Christian / Anti-Gay Terrorists Issue Death Threats to Kansas Minister. [View all]cbayer
(146,218 posts)86. I think the point here is that the profiled minister is the kind of christian
that liberals and progressives should support, while the ones who are threatening her are not. They can call themselves whatever they want, but it's not the kind of christianity that the liberal left has tended to endorse.
While no one can really decide who is a christian or not, it is important to be able to see the differences and use a little critical thinking to make distinctions.
The only people I see who wish to lump them all together are the anti-relgionists, but they have their own axe to grind.

It would be better titled 'christian fundamentalist terrorists', because that's what they are.

Well, I would turn the question back on you. Who gets to decide who is anti-christian?
