OMG OMG THE CHIRSTIANS ARE COMING! THE CHRISTIANS ARE COMING! THEY PROBABLY DONATE MORE MONEY TO CHARITY THAN I DO AND LIVE A MORE PEACEFUL LIFE THAN ME. OMG OMG OMG.

Fwiw, Christianity is one of the worst predictors of how a person is going to vote, comared to any other religion, gender, race, income level, location, and nationality.

Yes christianity as a whole is not a good tell on how someone will vote, but if they label themselves 'born-again' I seriously doubt they will be voting for anyone with a (D) at the end of thier name

Dr. James Luther Adams, my ethics professor at Harvard Divinity School, told his students that when we were his age—he was then close to 80—we would all be fighting the “Christian fascists.”

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't get it. At divinity school, they teach you to fight Christians?

Any extremism is dangerous. For any country the most dangerous extremisms are domestic (I guess you'll agree that for Muslim countries the most dangerous is Islamic extremism). Any movement that does not accept democracy is very dangerous for any country.

The key Founding Fathers were not Christians at all: Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Washington, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln, Tom Paine.

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Statism is the most dangerous mass movement in American history

The Christian Right or Muslim Right or Atheist Left or whatever are all non-issues otherwise.

Nice instant pointless hyjack.

[/ QUOTE ]

WTF? The thread declared that "X is the most dangerous" and someone responds with, "no Y is the most dangerous and furthermore X wouldn't even be a problem if not for Y" and you call that a hijack? It seems entirely on topic to me. Just because you don't like the opinion expressed doesn't make it a hijack in any way shape or form.

Now your post and this post are hijacks. :P

If you're going to generalize like that, it goes both ways:
