Another moment of musing
Advertisements [?]
Seems to me that we have been beating our head against a wall trying to deal with the Christo-Fascists type's. They wave their cross around, claiming both moral superiority along with Grand claims of Persecution, a double whammy which seems to stymie any possible chance of reasoning in the public forum.

Mr. Average Dumbfuckistanian watches this from the bleachers, automatically siding with the "Christians", since their opponents are all Godless Liberal Pinko, Murka Hating Non-Patriots, and never even give the "reality-based" voices a chance to be heard and understood.

The only way that it is going to be possible for us to remove them from this position of power is if the "Real" church gets off their collective behinds and call them down. I am not a very religious person myself, although as a younger man I found a lot of solace in the concept of a God of Love and Peace. Cynicism has a way of sowing those seeds of mistrust.

Anyway, this particular brand of what they pathetically brand "Christianity", with its anger, hate, mistrust, and downright destruction of any who would dare disagree with them, needs a strong counter-message coming from those who have the central message of Christian charity, tolerance, and love for their fellow human as their central credo.

Those who have either positions of strength within their own churches, or are perhaps ministers of these positive-minded organizations, need to step up to the plate and put their message where their silence now lies.

Ignoring evil will not make it disappear; only exposure of this evil to the strong light of day will do that.

We here at DU constantly expose it, but if the audience is not listening, it means nothing. Let those who have credibility with the Christians , (those poor fools who have fallen for the CF line) expose these charlatans for what and who they are. May not change every one of their opinions, but if it opens some eyes, that is a start.
