73. Where have I said that?
She was doing her job. Somewhat poorly possibly from some things I have read but that is another issue. I have no problem with Christians killing someone in self defense (though some Christian sects would, I believe). I never said we should be MORE fearful of her. The guy that did the killing was clearly dealing with a lot of problems and had to be stopped when he did what he did. But for this woman, a member of the Haggard community, saying that god stepped in to save her (and, logically, let others die without stepping in for them) is crazy shit.

I don't loathe Christians as a whole. I think many of them are seriously screwed up and need to be feared politically. Some need to be feared a little more on the physically side, though I grant they are extremists and limited in number.

People on DU are screeching about Huckabee's view of women. This guard is just as nutso about religion as Huckabee or moreso. Is that bad of me to say? I don't think so. But those that don't want me to say that about her feel free to call Huckabee a nutso. Why the double standard?

I don't have any problems with you. To me you are the portrait (as an English teacher, I've been waiting to say that to you for some time) of the theist I wish most were. I don't think I say that all Christians are nutbags when I say this woman is a nutbag; why do other Christians on here think that's what I'm saying?
