Title: Pretty brazen appeal for money.

So, there we have it identified as people who are going to make a brazen appeal for money. And then I point out that it's an ad that is asking for donations for persecuted Christians. So, the idiots are obviously people who think that Christians are persecuted.

No where did I say all Christians. Just the idiots who think that Christians are persecuted.

But I can understand the confusion. Just the other day I wrote a post about how the conservative right Christians are stealing Jesus as well as the flag. To paraphrase, I mentioned it was an alienating experience, because they are unlike any Christian that I grew up with. So, if someone wants to come up with a good tag to define their version of Christianity and the rest of us, I'm all for it. Maybe White Jesus Christians versus Jewish born Jesus? It's just a start. I welcome suggestions.
