Reply #118: There is a difference, though

[AngryOldDem]

I can disagree with a particular belief, but I can respect that belief and those who practice it. I can disagree with a religion, yet not hurl insults at it or mock its leaders, as well as those who practice it.

Since when has basic, common civility -- in other words, simple manners -- fallen under the guise of PC?

If such behavior were directed toward any other group besides Christianity and Catholicism, the hue and cry against it would be loud and long. We all know that.

I find the name-calling, etc., to be juvenile, and well below the discourse that I expect from those who consider themselves to be "liberal and enlightened." It makes us look no better than those on the right whom we constantly decry for their narrow-mindedness and intolerance.
