Reply #111: Of course progressive Christians cannot stand fundies

[Tsiyu]

You and I know that. But respect for others' beliefs is how I distinguish myself as a liberal. I don't agree with the practice of most faiths, and I haven't seen any Christian DUer support the far right. Like you said, they get the granite prize and they should. NO ONE should support what they are doing to insert their radical beliefs into our nation's laws.

If you haven't seen me bashing them, you haven't read too many of my posts. I'm just saying that the attacks on progressive Christians must stop or we will turn away many progressive folks who could help our cause. That's not too hard to agree with, is it?

A poster with over 10,000 posts, who has had a lot to offer this board, was ready to abandon DU because of the "Christians are racists" thread. Is it not worth a few moments to qualify an anti-Christian post with "fundy" or "right wing?"

If we were discussing any other subject we would expect specifics. That's what intelligent people do. Specify exactly what they mean. Most old-time DUers will know that an anti-Christian post means "fundy" or "right wing." But someone perusing the boards, without any history of this place, can come away from here seeing gross intolerance when we don't thoughtfully take the time to qualify our statements. Can you agree with that?
