Wrongful Stereotypes

[Eaglebauer]

I think it's humorous how Rush Limbaugh has taught radical nutjobs how to deny any unpleasant fact as fiction.

It's also humorous if anyone doesn't realize that "silent majority" is a vast *under*statement in regards to non-right-wing-Christian-wackos.

Well, I think their are crazy Christians and non-crazy (less crazy, anyway) Christians. The "crazy" Christians that I take issue with are the ones that want to impose their beliefs and/or standards of behavior on the entire country by force of law. There is only one side in the so-called "culture wars" that has any desire for war. I, for one, have no desire to force Christian fundamentalists to play poker, have pre-marital sex, have an abortion, marry somebody of the same sex, or force them to watch sex and violence on TV or in the movies. There are many people on the other side of the "culture wars" who wish to prohibit me from doing some or all of these things.

I completely agree with you on that...I am against imposing moral beliefs on anyone, especially via political means. We're in agreement

I believe Christianity is anti-freedom. I don't necessarily believe all Christians are anti-freedom, though I can see how it might come across that way. At any rate, if you believe in a religion that's anti-freedom, and believe in it to the point of worship, then I'm unlikely to trust your influence. And I firmly believe that there's a very strong correlation between Christianity and opposition to freedom.

Question: at what point does sterotyping become okay? What if 99% of Christians were of the crazy variety? Could we then just complain about 'Christians'?

Other than that, your point is well taken. Not all Christians are crazy/freedom hating. I'd love to know what % are, though. And why this % votes so much/is so damn loud.
