Occupy Religion: Don’t Let Religion Occupy You

[trotsky]

47. Look, let's make this perfectly clear.

I'm not trying to "exclude Christians from the process" which I thought was patently clear but evidently it's not. What I do not want is the religious to infuse OWS with their religion as the motivation and purpose behind the movement - this taints and corrupts what is a completely secular movement, and makes those who are not religious, or those who embrace a different religion feel unwelcome and unwanted.

We have to be on guard against this kind of thing - the right wing does it with their flavor of Christianity (and it's the KKK that would call MLK's version perverse, by the way) and we don't like it one bit, since it polarizes the political process. So why should we do it with OWS?

Now if you care to argue these points instead of with your poorly constructed straw man of them, I'd love to continue. But if you'd rather insinuate that I want to eliminate all Christians from the political process entirely, you'll be on your own.
