New The broad brush is deliberate.
I want those you call the true "followers of Christ" to feel damned uncomfortable being lumped in with those who are hijacking Christianity for their own political purposes.

Right now, all I'm seeing out there in the "real world" is nodding agreement with the "values thing" espoused by a political movement who's only real values are prefixed by a "$".

Complacency is colaboration.

New Well you suceeded here.
Pissed ME off - though you could hardly call me complacent about the hijacking of the name 'Christianity' for the political and economic gain. And it's funny, but the Christians friends I know are both disgusted about it and vocal, too.

Now - there are large numbers of (clinical?) morons here in the Great Red Spot (err, state) of Georgia, so I assume there are large numbers of moronic Christians, as well. If those are the ones you are talking to, go find them and talk. I don't think you will find many here.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New What you guys gotta do
is organise a march. With a lot of people. On Washington. With a good moniker, indicating that the march is in fact christian in origin. With a lot of invitations sent to various churches.

Why? So you can force coverage of your views... because right now, they aren't being covered by your media. An outsider looking in can only conclude that the soul of US Christianity is basically authoritarian in nature (if not in fact totalitarian) because the only people getting published are the ones you and your friends don't like.

... and as a side note, the power to publish is one of those mechanisms that legislates heredity in class.
