Some Christians believe that being anti-Christian is the only acceptable form of bigotry left in America. Outside of the absurdity of the vast majority of the claims offered as "proof" of this fallacy the hypocrisy necessary to make such a claim is phenomenal.

For example, noted conservative pundit Ann Coulter once stated, "liberals always play the victim in order to advance, win advantages and oppress others". While such tactics are hardly exclusive to liberals the supposed "War on Christianity" represents the pinnacle of all self ascribed pity parties.

Christians comprise just over 78% of the U.S. population, which is a significantly higher percentage of the population than the "angry atheists" who only account for 1.6%. What are these poor Christians to do when faced with such overwhelming odds against them?

The problem is that Christians have spent so much time pretending to be victims that they have become oblivious to their own indiscretions.

1. "Pretending" and pretending to be chronic victims when the pretending is pointed out, is the whole RW schtick.

4. And in doing so, they remain oblivious to the very obvious double standard.

5. The media remains oblivious, anyone with half a brain knows the truth they try so hard to suppress.

2. Accuse others of what you are yourself doing

Karl Rove certainly didn't invent the technique but he borrowed it from the Fundies and polished it to a deep, rich patina.

6. I am particularly amused when they pass laws without

recognizing that people other than themselves are going to be covered by those laws.

That is the height of arrogance.

10. We are in complete agreement.

To insist that others follow rules that you do not, is definitely the height of arrogance.

3. "You are against discrimination?" "Yes." "You want all people treated the same?" "Not. So. Fast..."

7. They are against discrimination when it comes to themselves.

Like the examples given by the two newscasters. They only see the street going one way.

8. The comments are astounding.

That they totally did not get the point of the article is obvious.

9. I hadn't looked at them until you mentioned them

I see a wide variety of comments and I do think a lot of people did get it.

[longship]

11. Yes, but many religious comments, too.

Who do not seem to understand the point of the article.

Hope you are well. Coldest week this season here. -14F the other morning. More coming later this week. Staying warm. Long Johns are essential here.

Send some warmth this way, please.

12. I would love to send you some warmth

and we have plenty.

It has been rainy and that has brought out a load of mosquitoes and noseeums. They just seem to love me!
