Howard Dean : Christians don’t have much a reputation for anything but hate"

[Jack]

The problem here is with collective guilt. The world's two billion Christians do not hold collective responsibility for the holocaust or the Spanish inquisition any more than the world's atheists bear collective responsibility for the Gulag or other crimes against humanity perpetrated by proudly and openly atheist regimes in pursuing atheist goals of religious eradication

It's Modern People that support 'Logic & Reason' over Ancient People that believe in 'Mysticism'.

Any problems with this:

"The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), also known as the Lord's Resistance Movement, is a rebel group and heterodox Christian group which operates in northern Uganda, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[10] Originally known as the United Holy Salvation Army and Uganda Christian Army/Movement, its stated goals include establishment of multi-party democracy,[11] ruling Uganda according to the Ten Commandments,[12] and Acholi nationalism.[13]"

I know about LRA and they are a reprehensible criminal terrorist organization in the same manner ISIS or Soviet atheists are

Holocaust. I would consider this 'ethnic cleansing' by Christians. (still too far back in time for you?)

"The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, was the genocide of the European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, across German-occupied Europe, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population.Wikipedia"

That wasn't done by Christians, Nazism was a cult unto themselves that was condemned by most religions. It's was about nationalism and nothing religious. Deep-seated belief by some that the Jews controlled many things from the banks to the media. The scapegoating happened as Germany was recovering from a recession. Japan joined with Germany having been through similar. Now American Republicans has been pulling a lot of the same crap after we've been coming out of recession. Once you start coming out of recession people seek why it happened. It seems many can't shake that desire for someone to offload blame. Being of German heritage I refuse to let those things ever stand again.

The Jesus Freaks want a Cross on every Hill, a Prayer in every School, and the Ten Commandments in every Courthouse. (see the problem)

I have a feeling Christians blame Jews for the Death of Jesus.

See what these assholes have done.

""In God We Trust", also written as "In God we trust", is the official motto of the United States of America[1][2][3] and of the U.S. state of Florida. It was adopted by the U.S. Congress in 1956, supplanting E pluribus unum, in use since the initial 1776 design of the Great Seal of the United States.[4]"

'E Pluribus Unum' ...from the beginning of the Republic, ... now replaced with some mumbo-jumbo religious shit. Any other currency on the Planet have religious shit like that on it?

Yes. Of course. Not the 'Real' Christians.

Jesus Freaks support Trump.
Any other questions about 'Christians'?

So do segregationists, White power haters, Confederate flag bearers and so many other hate groups that us the bible to explain themselves. Hitler used the bible to justify what he did. It is an all-purpose book that can be twisted by people to justify nearly anything even snake handling.

Not sure blame is the word. That and the state of Israel forwarded a fulfillment of prophesy.
Can't have a good end of days without the promised land for Jebzues to land in and armageddon

lol. such a gross generalization that ignores Progressive attacks on religion -
it's not worth further comment

Mad irony.

It never ends with this fool.

[Rune]

what exact hate speech?
you have a tendency to bloviate -so I can't answer until I see what you refer to

But christian "hate speech" is not a significant sect, unlike the Salafist Movement in Islam
that is a large part of Sunni Islam

Either a major lie,or as usual, you are too ignorant to discuss this topic.

[Rune]

oh please. such TRIPE. such CRAP

I defend religious liberty of ALL religions as enshrined in the First.

But I sure as hell am not going to defend Salafists - and yes when I do speak of Islam
I DO MAKE THAT DISTINCTION

Hypocrite is as hypocrite says.
