1. Yup. It's amazing how accurately that describes a whole lot
of interactions with a whole lot of Christians. Even occasionally here at DU. :(

Fortunately, it is only accurate for a relative minority of Christians here. Most of the people here are willing to share the world. They don't think that denying them complete ownership of everything is some kind of persecution. :)

10. Hiya, Kali ...

:hi:

I've been laying low. I get bored with circular firing squad and need a respite from time to time. :)

Monsoon season yet?

6. Though it's so unlike me, I must be Pythonically pedantic
If the designer of the graphic meant it to reflect the "peasants" scene from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," the proper caption would be, "Help, help, we're bein' repressed!"









O' course, if this wasn't the designer's intent, I look like a bloody fool. :hide:

12. you do seem to be acting like the types that are actually being mocked here.
The mocking is towards individuals in a majority group who act like they are some kind of oppressed minority, when in fact they are the ones in power and who control the majority of the dialog. If you are one of those kinds of christians, especially a white male one I really have to ask what you are whining about?

15. Ouch

You have wounded me, sir, down to my very core.

I must be away now, to ponder how I have come to this rotten end.
