Thread Name: BS:Christian Persecution? School funding in Israel
Subject: RE: BS:Christian Persecution? School funding in Israel
As a Christian, I am appalled by "those" Christians who have the gall to usurp and limit and defame the name of Christianity - those hypocrites who base their so-called faith on the condemnation of others and the failure to question their own conduct.

Even Evangelical Christians can have a home in the Democratic Party, as witnessed by Jim Wallis and his Sojourners social justice activists.

But yeah, Christians who base their faith on the exclusion and denigration of others, won't feel at home in the Democratic Party.

But it's not "those" Christians who are running the taxpayer-supported private schools in Israel. I don't think "those" Christians could admit Muslim students. And now that I'm in Edinburgh, surrounded by posh private schools, I can see how some in the UK would object to private schools as exclusionary. But private religious schools aren't like that in many instances. Many were built to provide a superior education to the lower classes.
