5. Apology is not accepted.
This is a great example of not the brilliant or the satiric but of dumping on people who believe in Jesus Christ. I am Evangelical. I am proud of my faith.

I can't for the life of me figure out why supposedly tolerant DUers think they have the right to trash en entire religion based solely on the bad acting of some of its supposed adherents.

The abolitionist movement was a Christian movement. Perhaps the greatest american of the last century, Martin Luther King was a Christian. Look at the work of Jimmy Carter... based wholly upon his Evangelical belief in the hope of Christ. Look at the Freedom Riders in th South in the Sixties. Look at the Christians who protested against the Vietnam experience. Look at the American Markyknoll nuns who were butchered in Salvador for standing with Archbishop Romero and Gustavo Gutierrez. Look at the hundred of thousands of churches who build homes for Habitat. Who opened their doors for Katrina victims. Look at the American Friends Service Committee.

Look at who protested in Groton when Electric Boat was build a Trident to be named the Corpus Christi. Look at the White Christians who went into Newark in the days after the King assassination.

Look at who is protesting today at the gates of Gitmo.

How dare you lump us into one mass and call Evangelicals "shiiit"

Stop behaving like a junior High Bully... Punching smaller kids in the arm. It is asinine...offensive, naively intolerant, bigoted and pretty much as bigoted as some of the crap that comes out of Virginia Beach and Lynchburg.

You don't seem the least bit more enlightened then they are.
