Crash, Christians have begun to voice their opinion, and some have pulled shows because they will lose money, but no sane, objective person would deny that one of the few groups you can openly mock and express the vilest hatred of are Christians.
Really? Because I can turn on the radio and hear Sean Hannity, Bill O'Rielly, and Michael Savage spew vile hatred at everybody but. Replace "Christian" in your paragraph with "liberal" and I'd say you have a true statement. Christians, though? Probably the least persecuted members of our society. You might have noticed that they have control of all three branches of government, and that the President has been a Christian for the past, oh,
all of our nation's history. They're the only religion recieving
direct Federal funding in the form of Bush's "faith-based" initiatives. They've got three channels, just for themselves, on extended cable. Their religious celebrations are all national holidays. Man, sucks to be them, doesn't it? If that's oppression, chain me to the wall, already.
Just take any mean-spirited commentary or even art towards Christianity, and substitute the same thing for Jews or African-Americans, and consider that the response would be.
You'd get your own show on CNN, like conservative fruitbat Glenn Beck (who has called both the families of 9/11 victims and black survivors of Hurricane Katrina "scumbags." And don't play that "out of context" card. I listen to his show.
I heard him say it. Did you?). And a lucrative book deal, and you'd probably wind up on FOX at least a couple of times.
There would be an outcry, or would have been, and people saying the artist was a NAZI or some such.
You're talking about "Piss-Christ"? There
was an outcry, as you'll recall, and a lot of folks
did call that guy a lot of names. Probably the only reason you or I even heard about that photograph was because Christians were in such an uproar about it.
But a liberal can rave all they want and demonize Christians all they want with the worst slander, the vilest insults, etc,...with nearly no censure from the multi-culturalists
...aside from getting beat up and losing his job, like that professor in Kansas. But, hey, other than that, I guess he got away scott-free, eh?
Is there sympathy or even a hint of sensitivity because Christians in the Third World and communist nations were and are sometimes horribly mistreated, persecuted, tortured, raped and murdered for their faith?
You mean, besides the candelight vigils and national days of mourning? You mean besides that?
