Reply #108: Why the hostility on this thread to Christianity?

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

Honestly, with all these religion threads on DU I am starting to wonder if a liberal Christian is even welcome here.

Why the hostility? Don't paint an entire group of people, an entire belief system with the same brush.

So I believe in God and Jesus and all that. So what? What does it take away from anyone? I pray and meditate at home, in private. I don't hurt anyone. I wish they'd take "under God" out of the frigging pledge. In fact, scrap the damn pledge altogether, it's creepy to watch six year olds saying it without having a clue what they are saying. Sorry I went off-topic there.

I don't go around telling people I am Christian or looking my nose down at anyone (I really don't care WHAT religious beliefs anyone has or if they have any at all). I'm not out trying to convert anyone. I don't tell people I'll pray for them unless they specifically ASK for such (and that never happens). I don't feel persecuted or send around nasty anti-atheist emails. I don't think the goverment and religion should be in the same ROOM together, much less in bed together.

So what's all the denigration of religion? All the "fairy tales", "imaginary creatures", "religion is bullshit" stuff about? What did I ever do to any of you? I don't make fun of ANYONE's belief systems or lack of it.

Lay off. Get some peace in your soul (or yourself). You don't have to have religion to get it, either!
