Stevangelist, I am sorry you feel that way. I had specifically tried to not paint all Christians with a broad brush and also asked that we keep a civil tone in this thread, i.e. no bashing.

Last time I checked, Christianity was still in the majority and not really suffering from any inquisitions, etc. Eever stop to think that maybe the reason all of us in the minority might be being so vocal is because it is the first time in a couple of thousand years, give or take a few, that it has been even a little bit safe for us to do so?

Alex, I believe that is the same reason the ACLU may seem biased to you. They've been speaking out for and advocating the minorities which have had no concerted voice as Christians have for so long. It is important for us all to remember that it has not been that long, in the manner of history, that minorities of all kinds, have had any kind freedom approaching that of what the majority have had for much longer.

BillD, thanks. I had not heard that. I totally agree with what you've stated.
