14. The problem with my "perception" of Christianity
is that while people in this thread claim that the radical right wing on the Christian faith is basically in the minority and the majority are "true" Christians, I just don't see it. I see people like Fallwell, Robertson, Dobson and Haggard running giant "Mega-Churches" and television stations. It's hard to beliebve that the "liberal Christians" are in the majority. I see people who espouse their bigotry and homophobia on TV for millions of viewers. I see these Mega-Churches with tens of thousands of followers and I assume these people carry the same views as their leaders. I may be wrong but the perception is that the majority of Christians hold the views that their leaders do, and their leaders are all over the place making sure that their morality is my morality.

If you think it's tough being a Christian on DU try being a Jew who supports Palestine... hehe
