And it just keeps going. This is precisely what Poe asked about.
All Christians are banded together with the few public radical
figures. Would you also say that all Muslims believe the same
radical orthodoxy that Osama bin Laden preaches and acts upon?

Personally, I'm saying that Christianity should be about Jesus Christ. He
preached love and tolerance, not hate.

There is a large and loud contingent of folks calling themselves Christians
who preach nothing but hate. I don't think Jesus would approve.

This large and loud contingent also seem to relate themselves to
conservatism, also. I suppose that this is where Poe's idea of Lib's hating
Christians comes from. I don't believe religion has anything - or should
have anything - to do with politics. But, if anything, the left seems to
embody Christ's teachings more than the right.
