Regarding the planned Phelps protests of the VT funerals: [View All]

[smoogatz]

Unfortunately for moderate and progressive Christians, rampant fundie assholery does kind of make the whole religion look stupid and destructive, at least to me as an outsider. It's not just Phelps--it's the whole big, greasy public face of American Christianity, from Robertson to Falwell to Haggard to Swaggart to David Koresh, on down the line. One fleshy, red-faced, self-aggrandizing, pompous, bloviating, moralizing, sanctimonious douchebag exploiter-of-the-stupid after another. That's pretty much what non-Christians see: intolerance, ignorance, bigotry, and self-delusion. Now, I know the great majority of Christians aren't like that (at least I want to believe they aren't). But where's the public face of progressive Christianity? Why aren't you guys on TV?
