205. I think Luther already stole your thunder
You are promoting warmed over Protestant individualism, and making religious rather than political arguments in response to political arguments. No one is defending Church doctrine. At issue is whether millions of people should be maligned and attacked using that as a pretext. "They are affiliated!" and "they give money!" are the tenuous connections justifying blaming the group for the actions or statements of individuals.

Why are supposed anti-religious people so obsessed with debating religious ideas?

Do you think that according to who spends money, and how much, that the teachings would change? I realize that many here support a "one dollar one vote" approach to politics and government, now that our team raised more money, but I don't think it applies here.

Funny how when people are challenged for bigotry here, they do not deny that they are being bigoted, they argue that the bigotry is justified.
