Martin! Your comment is "superior"! Thank you for being a "stand-up" American...thank you for caring about our country and your comment about our children is true...parents had better wake-up.... Obama and his kind support all evil.... I guess, next pedifiles will be "granted" their evil acts.... This is just the beginning of evil times.... Cindy A.

There were lots of comments like this, all coming from good Christians. There were only a few comments that were positive, and none of them claimed to be Christians. I have long ago been pushed over the line of tolerance toward these disgusting human beings. If I belonged to an institution that had so many of these cretins in membership, I would either resign or take action to expel these members. I don't see either of these actions taking place. All I see are people telling me I am supposed to be tolerant of other views and to stop painting Christians with a broad brush. If the brush fits, use it, I say.

regularly demonstrate a complete lack of integrity since they can apparently justify anything as long it advances their religion. If someone comes out and declares their religion outside of the context of a discussion specifically about religion I consider them making an open declaration of malevolence to me. Some say this is harsh, that not all members of X group are like that. However their automatic trust is precisely why the dishonest ones are able to operate so easily and why they are so damn common.

with these types of comments. These are pretty appalling, and I have a feeling that they are seen as sick by most Christians. The people who post this shit are the truly certifiable, and I would bet that they are weak in real life....so they take all their hatred out on the internet. As much as I have seen some believers make excuses for bad behavior by the church or other Christians, or tell us non-believers to be tolerant, I don't think that they belong in this category of cretins.
