201. Instead of getting upset at US for "disparaging Jesus...."
Edited on Sun Mar-27-05 10:22 AM by RandomKoolzip
You should be far more upset at how fascists have hijacked your religion. This is a relatively small website; if your religion means this much to you, then why aren't you protesting in front of the local fundy church, or using your considerable writing skills to pen an expose on James Dobson or some of the other leading lights of the "Rapturofascist" movement, or organizing a liberal church movement to take back your religion. Unless I'm mistaken, you ought to have bigger fish to fry than just lil' ol' DU.

It's funny how many Christians on DU will get upset over the use of mere words about their chosen deity on a not-even-burgeoning-yet website in some corner of cyberspace, yet apparently aren't all that put out by a nefarious clique of corporate cultists taking their religion and using it to install a fascist theocracy in place of our traditional democracy. I guess it's a question of priorities.

Next time you see some DUer calling your chosen deity some rude name or acting as if said deity doesn't mean as much to them as he/it does to you, ask yourself: why am *I* not doing more to make my religion something progressives can respect?
