Reply #360: MSM picks on atheists? DU'ers pick on christians?

[The Straight Story]

That's about what I am hearing here.

The MSM tosses out a story about one atheist and folks are in an uproar. How many have they tossed out about christians? Pat robertson, oral roberts, ptl club, Intelligent design, catholic priests, etc and so on ad nauseum are portrayed negative in the press on a regular basis.

The guy in this story made note of his beliefs as being his reason for what he did, so that made it fair game.

Fast Forward to DU and what do we see? Bash christians, call any belief a fairy tale, and so on. Say something negative about an atheist and the thread reels past 300 posts. It was not even negative about atheism in general - just one self identified atheist.

Sheesh, some folks on this thread are a little touchy (not necessarily you btw, just ranting).
