Look at the history of Christianity and it's filled with horrific witch hunts, discrimination, torture and hatred.

Christians that love and forgive may be following Christ's teachings faithfully but historical Christianity as a religion has been more about wielding power and asserting personal privilege than letting the New Testament guide them.

These protesters are bringing back the long established demonic Christian traditions of the past that they yearn for so fervently.
