Lots of Democrats are Christian. Why All the Hate?

260. Agreed

I put religion in the same category as sex---to each his own, and its none of my business. UNLESS, they try to force their beliefs on me. Its why I've always had a problem with, "missionaries."

I was raised Southern Baptist. My parents were devout, and I had no problem with that, but I resented being dragged to church 3 times a week. Then, I started really questioning some things, and that was a problem for them. I was supposed to believe without question. Have faith. It got to the point in high school when my Mom called in the big gun--the preacher came to our house to try to determine what my problem was, and pray for me. I still resent it when people drop their heads and start praying with no warning. My Mennonite animal vet would do that when I lived in Calif. We were at a land auction a few years ago here where the auctioneer did it. To me, that shows disrespect and ignorance to people who don't believe as they do. Its forcing your beliefs on others.

As for DU, I have a real problem with members that show disrespect and ignorance to other members. As I've said numerous times, I am offended when members say nasty things about residents of several states. Again, more disrespect, intolerance, and ignorance. We should be better than that.
