Rasczak, I don't think it's christens that people dislike. I haven't seen all of these attacks you mentioned, but I doubt that you're incorrect. For me the past few years has put a bad taste in my mouth for religion, and I'm a Christian. To many rotten people have taken Christianity and used it as a weapon to attack people they disagree with. I remember in 04 churches denying politicians communion for not agreeing with them on issues or on how to solve certain issues. It just got ugly...

I think Christianity, no the very vocal religious right got lost on one big power tip and you now have people who are very distrusting of anything they have to say. I hope things change but.... Christianity has become yet another tool of partisan politics.
