"Christian"

[wnylib]

22. For some people, religion is an excuse

to elevate their worst natures "in the name of God." I've noticed that there are people like that in other religions, too, besides Christianity.

I've also noticed that many people think it is bigoted to make sweeping derogatory comments about Jews and Muslims, but ok to do it about Christianity. I wonder why the double standard, especially here on DU where bigotry toward anyone is supposedly not accepted.

People who would not accuse all Muslims of being terrorists just because some Muslim fanatics are, think nothing of accusing all Christians of being filled with hate, ignorance, misogyny, etc.

And yet, some of our greatest Democratic leaders have been and are devout Christians. Joseph Biden comes to mind, as well as Jimmy Carter and Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
