208. Me too....

In general.

I don't think DUers hate Christians, but I do think Christianity (actually most religious beliefs) is mocked from time to time--equating belief in God with believing in the Wizard of Oz, posting of a Jesus movie in which Jesus is masturbating and slapping ass during sex...

I think it's because Christianity is the predominant religion in this country. If this country had a long history with Islam, it'd be different. I think right wingers have ruined it for everyone, and now they're whining about how ruined it is.

Here though, I'm especially irritated that as soon as a Christian says something slightly irritated/off, they get jumped on with the "gee, that's not too CHRISTIAN of you" or "gee, aren't you supposed to be NON JUDGMENTAL" or whatever. Christians aren't perfect, don't profess to be....it's such a straw man, and it's irritating.

I like DU. I like DUers. They're not going to change, and I can deal with that.
