Reply #99: Actually, "offended" was probably not the right word for me to use. [View All]

I'm not so much offended as annoyed or pissed when people make their disparaging remarks. "Offended" was just a short way to get point across in the short length of the subject line.

I was also brought up Catholic. I stopped going go church in college and never went back. I just got back to Jesus and joined a UCC church a few years ago. It's unfortunate that the RW fundies have come to define the word "Christian" at this time because they certainly do not define it. I think progressive churches are trying to take the word back and I hope they do. Since I am a Christian, I get upset by seeing fellow progressives lumping all Christians together under the fundie definition--that ain't me. Progressives of all stripes, atheists and Christians, have to work together to take our country back, and in order to do that we have to respect each other.
