| For perhaps the second time in two years I agree with Grotto. I hope it doesn't get to be anymore frequent than that. But then even a stopped clock is right twice a day, so my sanity is not in question. |

Yeah Christians. We're tired of you responding to us when we call you stupid, refer to your God as an imaginary friend and recommend that your relgion be eradicated. Be more enlightened and broad-minded like us. Sheesh. |

While I don't agree with eradication of anyone with any belief, I do feel like it has gotten to be way too much.
The entire U.S. government is run by the fundy's these days, and yet in the U.S. they are screaming about persecution! How can the ruling, vast, majority be persecuted?
I find it very refreshing here that many of my students and Korean friends feel free to identify as atheists, as if it were nothing more than a choice of toothpaste. Can you imagine a politico in the U.S. claiming to be an atheist? Can you see yourself, in a class full of fellow students, in the U.S., proclaiming your atheism with the same resolve as claiming Christianity?
I am not an atheist (to me it is another religion in terms of its certitude), but I like the equal respect it gets here. I consider myself a Buddhist, at least philosophically, and it is great to be somewhere where I am not seen as some sort of new age nut case (I am definitively not "new age"!)
No one has convinced me yet of the fundamental difference between the radical true believers of Christianity and of Islam. Sorry, do a pan historic body count, and I won't be convinced of the moral superiority of one over the other.
Fundamentalists assume they are absolutely correct, Buddhists know they are always mistaken. Fundamentalists have all the answers, Buddhists have only questions. |

I'm somewhere in between all that, probably leaning more towards Buddhism on most days.....wait and see how the universe unfolds...don't get all ginked up about it sort of thing.
The Fundies make me ill--really. It never ceases to amaze me how whacked out they are over a book. |

I don't call myself a Buddhist, but I think that reading Buddhist literature really helped me at a time in my life when I needed some perspective, in a way to other megareligions couldn't even come close to.
Perhaps if I read more I would get the appropriate wisdom not to beat my head against a wall when I hear Christians whining and acting all put-upon and oppressed when their supremacy or certitude is challenged. I think it's amazing that a group with so much political clout all over the world still plays the victim card. |

Extremist ideas and politics, implied or explicit, sometimes seem to represent the mainstream here on Dave's Current Events forum.
Here's the other one who poses the same question...

I wouldn't presume to know the OP's original intentions on the matter, but I have the strong feeling that the "eradication" thing was intended as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the other thread and not a genuine wish to kill all Christians, and that what people are cheering on is the content of the OP and not the subject heading. But I'll willingly stand corrected if I'm wrong. |

On one hand I agree with you, on the other, I understand the OPs frustration- just not his solution.
I am amazed at the fundamentalist Christian presence in everyday life in the U.S. these days. I think it was somewhere in Pennsylvania recently that a childs book about two male penguins raising a baby penguin was banned, at the demand of the Christians) for its gay theme. Male penguins do carry the eggs to birth (I just learned that, they carry them under their beer bellies- it is an idea whose time might have come in the States  .
Anyway, all the Christian values stuff emanating from this murderous administration and the hypocrite conservatives who support them and then get caught for gambling, drugs and child pornography (that is just in the last year) is just too much.
This is not meant for all Christians, or conservatives, actually one of my good friends is a Christian conservative (  ). No, I reserve my concern for those who would try to impose their values and beliefs on me, and all of society in general.
My sister always identified as a sort of latent Christian, and she if far more conservative than I, but, from where she is in L.A., she shares essentially the same view as the OP. I think you have to follow things in the Christian States of America to really understand the feeling. |

Once on the Daily Show there was a clip of some fundy pulling the whole persecution complex. Jon Stewart responded with something like, "When will the day come when we have an openly Christian president...or 43 consecutive ones?" |
