recently, the vatican warned of growing ‘christianophobia’ around the world and declared that it needed to fought with the same zealotry as anti-semitism, etc. normally, i would agree. i am all about religious freedom as long as you don’t infringe on mine. unfortunately, christians don’t seem able to leave well enough alone. no, they feel compelled to force their faith on others with evangelizing and proselytizing and converting people- especially in third world countries. their aid comes with strings attached and let’s face it, if i am starving, i will most likely sing hallelujah! until i have a full belly. you can force my behavior but you can’t steal my mind.
anyhoo- i thought about why folks might want to revolt against christianity- and i couldn’t come up with a single thing. nope. i came up with several- i mean besides the above mentioned issues combined with pedophilia and misuse of funds- and i am going to list them here. you can make your own conclusions about the ‘christian agenda’ and really ask yourself if these folks deserve to be left alone:
teacher on the front line as faith and science collide
christian right’s got a new stealth tactic to smuggle creationism into classes
theocratic sect prays for real armageddon– not to mention rain for dnc convention <snark>
undercover at hagee’s united for israel convention
sarah palin and feminists for life
bushco white house: birth control = abortion
judge rules doctors must treat gays in spite of religious beliefs
These guys have some pretty scary views.
Why would so many people believe and act like this?
