The Washington Post refers to Christians as "largely poor, uneducated, and easy to command."
I don't know about the poor and uneducated thing, but the "easy to command" is definetly the truth. (As the Republicans have proved over these past two elections)

As if liberalism has anything to do with equal treatment or tolerance?
Hahaha! Oh man, that's the best joke i've heard all week!!

The actions of a few in the public eye? Alright, let's hear it, then--which liberals are supportive of Christianity?
I am.

Anybody who gives what you posted even the most cursory examination will easily see that it was not in the slightest taken out of context--if you don't have a leg to stand on then by all means take your ball and go home, but there's no need to slander me while you're at it.
No, it was taken out of context. That isn't arguable. He said that it isn't very Christian to hate people for not following christian values. And that is just what Christians tend to do. Hate people, and then hide behind the Bible and use it as an excuse. Again, this is not arguable, because anybody who has grown up around christians and thier culture (and has half a brain) realizes this is true. (Although, not ALL christians do this. A good portion of them do though.)

We don't do guilt by association in this country.
Yes we do.

I am not sure what my stance on religion is at the moment. I am still trying to figure out what I believe. I however, do believe in alot of christian ideals. This is why I can't stand republicans. Everything they do (except for the gay marriage an abortion thing) tends to be anti christian. I must ask why all of these so called "christian" republicans support the death penalty? (Does "He who has not sinned may cast the first stone" ring a bell?) I realize that war isn't necessarily a republican thing, but how come so many republicans seem to support war so much? The Bible does not condone homosexuality, but it never once says that it is okay for christians to judge them. In fact, it says just the opposite. "Judge not, lest ye be judged yourself" (I don't know if that is word for word or not) So then, why is it that so many christian republicans are so hateful when it comes to gays?

People just use the Bible as an excuse to bash people. They use the Bible to try and hide behind absurd and cruel ideals. They use the Bible to excuse themselves for voting republican. By doing so, they contradict themselves a thousand times over, but it's not like half of them have even read the bible, right?
