Your comment.." fragged by friendly fire" is unfortunately dead on.

I, if you recall other posts I have made, am very non-religious.
I have always made sure to not stomp on the individual or the religion itself, but to address the issues I have with institutionalized religion.
Much of my family is religious, and Democrat. I know there are alot of christian democrats out there. The problem I have is that the extremists are the only ones being put on the MSM. They are preaching thier hatred and twisted views in the name of God, and the media and public perception are not differentiating them and every other Christian in this country. I'm sure theres a few Repukes out there that are normal hard working socially progressive Christians, but are now being represented by B* and his twisted moral views, but they are all floating on the same boat, and when we attack the Repuke party, we are lumping them in there as well.

Thats the issue at its core, that there are a few wingnuts out there representing much larger groups, and the reasonable ones are being persecuted for the extremist views of the few. Muslims in this country are still going through the same thing right this minute. They are being lumped in with the terrorists and religious extremists. We need some influential religious leaders on tv who denounce the actions and views of these extremists, and saying clearly to the country... They are NOT us. They do NOT represent the Christian community. They need to be exposed as the extremists that they are.
