There was a time when I tried to live and let live. But the Christians--you give them an inch and they just HAVE to take a mile. There was a time when I thought the militant atheists were arrogant and spouting off too much. But I was wrong. And I have HAD IT! This is war now. This is war.

And spare me your bullshit about all the great Christian, Islamic and Jewish mystics and progressives. They are nothing more than the fertile field from which the next round of fanatics will sprout. I'm sure there are neo-Nazis and KKK people who decry violence but that doesn't change who and what they fundamentally are. Among their children, sooner or later, will arise the next crop of fanatics saying their parents were too lax, too open to change, not Christian/Islamic/Jewish enough. Fanatical rightwing conservatism is kept alive in this country by Christianity--period. If you are part of that cult then you are part of that problem.
