Reply #8: If it's ever going to get better, the push-back will have to come from Christians [View All]

Bottom line, if members of other religions criticize what the fundies are doing, that's just written off as religious differences/bigotry.

If members of the Evil Atheist Conspiracy (such as myself) knock any religion they just claim that we are:

A) Really one of them, but in denial
B) Tools of the Devil
C) Well, you get the point: Our opinion doesn't carry any weight inside any church.

If this particular faith ever again reflects the teachings of its founder, it will be because sincere believers stand up publicly, repeatedly, steadfastly, LOUDLY -- and in print -- and reject the awful, hateful views that are currently being sold as Christianity.

I've seen just a tiny bit of that here and there, but much more is needed.
