these bigoted televangelist churches. Wonder if people would be attacked?

If someone stood in front of a right wing, hell and domination church, drawing extremely obsurd cartoons of Jesus I believe there would be violence on that someone in the name of God.

Should be thousands.
You know those Christians. They just start killing over any offensive depiction of Jesus.
Thousands. Yep.

(15,064 posts)You are ignoring the premise of the post and defending Christianity. Let someone try my suggestion and see what happens. You may be proven wrong. But maybe not. Of course people have been threatened for cartoons of Mohammad. The "Pissed Christ" guy was threatened. But not attacked. There are extremists everywhere. Let's also see what happens to the dude who does this tomorrow.

(67,112 posts)The transgressions are so great by these bigoted televangelist churches I never cease to be amazed at how many suckers there are and how their minds are made of moldable putty. Over and over we see preachers for profit and churches for profit (and amazingly tax free), yet there are enough lame DUH people that support them, well, and some are on the take too!
