Reply #203: Progressive religion is already something progressives can respect [View All]

and liberal Christians don't go around telling other Christians how to think and act and believe- the backlash from that would be horrific and it wouldn't change a thing, just reinforce their sense of persecution.

The Right tends to stereotype the left as "godless" - and its inaccurate. But there are some very well known posters on this website who make it very uncomfortable for progressive Christians to be here. They mock religion in their usernames, in copycat posts, and by being offended at things that aren't really worth being offended over. If someone wants to put up a crucifix in their yard or at their church to remember the meaning of easter, why should liberal democrats be the first ones to make fun of it?

Is it ok to nake fun of Muslims or Jews or the God they worship? Most DUers would be the first to protest, but for Christianity anything goes. Its very hypocritical under the big tent sometimes.
