It's enough to make one completely cynical about those who loudly proclaim their piety.

The A&A group is a safe haven that is the least safe one on DU. A small group of religious people have declared war on it.

That's incredibly sad.

Meanwhile, the religious right has wrecked the Christian brand to the point that young believers have been afraid to self identify as Christians lest they be lumped in with the zealots. That's sad, too.

The little group who thinks we're the enemy need to rethink things.
